Syrian refugees flood into Iraqi Kurdistan

2013-08-21 33

About 35,000 Syrian refugees have arrived in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq in less than a week.

It is one of the largest influx into any neighbouring country since the war began two years ago.

Many are fleeing violence created by the Jabhat al-Nusra group, others are just desperate to escape.
