Repost from dkitwoodgetty in KALAK, IRAQ Children play outside their tent at a displacement camp set up next to a Kurdish checkpoint in Kalak, Iraq. Thousands of people have fled Iraq's second city of Mosul after it was overrun by ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) militants. Many have been temporarily housed at various IDP (internally displaced persons) camps around the region including the area close to Erbil, as they hope to enter the safety of the nearby Kurdish region. #Iraq #gettyimagesnews #war #unhcr #refugees #conflict
