Iraqi Yezidis fleeing from IS assaults take shelter in Iraq's Dohuk city

DOHUK, IRAQ - AUGUST 25: Yezidi women try to cook the meal in Zakho district, a few kilometers from the Iraqi-Turkish border, Dohuk on August 25, 2014. Yezidis fled their home due to the assaults of army groups led by Islamic State (IS), formerly known as ISIL, take shelter banks of river to supply water in Zakho. Some of them escape to their holy Sheiks's tombs for taking shelter. Islamic State fighters captured Iraq's Sinjar and Rabia in the Nineveh province after fierce clashes, forcing thousands of Iraqis including Turkmen, Arabs and Yezidis to flee.
