Refugee lives.

Gianluca Grossi

Over two hundred thousand refugees have found shelter in Erbil, northern Iraq, seeking refuge from the Islamic State's advance across the rest of the country. They are Christians, Yazidis, and some Shiite Muslims. Many of them are children. In their games and smiles, a still-subdued note of bitterness and disorientation can be sensed: the future holds no prospect of returning home for them.
