Description
"A Yazidi man from Sinjar slept outside a ruined house at Peshkhabor on the border of the Kurdish region of Iraq and Syria. He and his extended family spent three days in the mountains with only enough water to feed their children millilitres at a time, after militants from the so-called Islamic State (IS) invaded their villages, killed men, abducted women and forced the tens of thousands of survivors to flee into the mountains that straddle the border."
