The abandoned building in Musa Anter has no roof, only walls.<br /><br /> But this is now home for a Syrian family from the area around Kobani.<br /><br /> When Hüseyin El Mustafa heard ISIL was coming, he brought his wife and nine children to the Kurdish village on the other side of the Turkish border.<br /><br /> They are still close enough to the region they left to hear the fighting. <br /><br /> Our correspondent Bora Bayraktar visited the village, which is named after a Kurdish dissident.<br /><br /> “Close to the war zone people are trying to find ways to live. Some Syrian families are repairing abandoned houses in small villages like this, to find a shelter and begin a new life for themselves,” he said.<br /><br /> The ceiling is the priority for Hüseyin, whose sons are setting about fixing it.<br /><br /> When they asked who owned the house, the family were told by villagers it was abandoned and theirs to use.<br /><br /> Meanwhile their thoughts are with those who stayed in Syria.<br /><br /> “Two of my relatives have been injured. Another is fighting in Kobani against ISIL. Other than that we have nobody left in Kobani. One of those injured is in a critical condition. We took him to hospital in Turkey,” Hüseyin el Mustafa said.<br /><br /> Hüseyin does not know how he is going to support his family in their new home.<br /><br /> He is one of 200,000 from Syria who have sought shelter in Turkey – many of whom are in camps or with relatives.<br /><br /> Once they have finished building the house, Hüseyin’s sons want to return to Kobani to join the fight against the extremists.<br /><br /> Their father passes the time with other villagers, monitoring the border for signs of Islamist infiltration.
