DescriptionAfter crossing into northern Iraq near the Peshkhabour border in Dahuk, refugees from Kamishli, Syria, wait to be transported to a refugee camp. Ethnically, most of the refugees are Kurdish, and they are fleeing increased economic strife and insecurity as well as shortages of electricity, water, and food.
