IRAQ-YAZIDI-CONFLICT-DISPLACED

Displaced Iraqi women from the Yazidi community, who fled violence between Islamic State (IS) group jihadists and Peshmerga fighters in the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar, gather around their tents at a refugee camp set up on Mount Sinjar on January 15, 2015. IS group has targeted Yazidis and other minorities in northern Iraq in a campaign that rights group Amnesty International said in a report amounted to ethnic cleansing, murdering civilians and enslaving others for a fate that some captives consider worse than death. IS militants have overrun swathes of Iraq since June 2014, declared a cross-border caliphate also encompassing parts of neighbouring Syria and carried out a litany of abuses in both countries.
