    Displaced people from minority Yazidi sect, fleeing violence from forces loyal to Islamic State in Sinjar town, jump onto truck as they make their way towards Syrian border, on outskirts of Sinjar mountain

    Mon, 11 Aug 2014 11:40 AM

    Displaced people from the minority Yazidi sect, fleeing violence from forces loyal to the Islamic State in Sinjar town, jump onto a truck as they make their way towards the Syrian border, on the outskirts of Sinjar mountain, near the Syrian border town of Elierbeh of Al-Hasakah Governorate August 10, 2014. Islamic State militants have killed at least 500 members of Iraq's Yazidi ethnic minority during their offensive in the north, Iraq's human rights minister told Reuters on Sunday. The Islamic State, which has declared a caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria, has prompted tens of thousands of Yazidis and Christians to flee for their lives during their push to within a 30-minute drive of the Kurdish regional capital Arbil.

    WFP: Taking Swift Action To Help Iraq's Displaced Populations

    Wed, 13 Aug 2014 02:32 AM

    In spite of the challenging security situation and the fact that displaced populations are on the move, WFP has successfully distributed food to more than 385,000 people in 10 governorates across Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced by the crisis that first hit Mosul in mid-June and spread to surrounding cities and governorates. In recent days, a rising number of Iraqis have found themselves stranded around Iraq's Sinjar Mountains, fleeing violence. Since 4 August, WFP has set up four emergency kitchens in Dohuk and Lalish, enabling the food agency to assist more than 100,000 people who have fled the Sinjar area.
