IRAQ-UNREST-YAZIDI-DISPLACED

An Iraqi Yazidi girl, who fled her home when Islamic State (IS) militants attacked the town of Sinjar, skips inside a building under construction where many families found refuge on the outskirts of the Kurdish city of Dohuk, in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region, on August 16, 2014. While they have found safety in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region, the members of the Yazidi religious minority have little else to celebrate, having lost loved ones, homes and their belongings.
