Dignity as resistance

Gianluca Grossi

Young Christians who fled the city of Mosul, Iraq, occupied by the Islamic State (IS) militia, have found refuge in Erbil, northern Iraq (Kurdistan). The arrival of winter, with the first rains and low temperatures, makes life in the tents very difficult. These refugees are transported by bus to a shopping center where they will be housed.
