Yazidi children turn a new page with story books

Newsday

Available for over a year

Among the many victims of the self-styled Islamic State is the minority Yazidi group. Two years after their land in Iraq was overrun by IS, thousands of them still live in refugee camps. Of the 20,000 Yazidi refugees who settled in Khanke camp near Dohuk in Kurdistan, around half are children. To help these children turn a new leaf in their lives, aid groups have come up with a project of storytelling books. Carmen Little of the UK based AMAR foundation has just come back from Donhuk and explains what she saw there. (Photo: Yazidi children being told stories. Credit: AMAR)
