DOHUK, KRG, IRAQ - 2014/08/23: A young Yazidi refugee from Sinjar lives beneath a motorway underpass located at the entrance of the city of Dohuk. Yazidis were forced to exile after ISIS pushed to Sinjar, a town located West of Mosul. They were starving in Sinjar mountain range, when they were rescued by YPG fighters (an offshoot of the PKK) and offered safe passage to Syrian Kurdistan. They cannot be all accommodated in refugee camps, thus, some sheltered in under construction buildings and a bridge underpass. (Photo by Vianney Le Caer/Pacific Press/LightRocket via Getty Images)
