SYRIA. Derek. August 10, 2014.
Yazidi women and children from IRAQ. Sinjar. Rest at a makeshift camp on the outskirts of Derek, a Kurdish-controlled town in Syria, shortly after arriving on foot from the mountains where they sought refugee after fleeing their homes as ISIS militants moved into their area. The only way for this families to reach the safety of Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq is through a safe corridor in Syria that is controlled by Syrian-Kurdish militias.
