Iraq’s displaced Yazidis hunker down as **rthern winter bites
 

https://s1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/U...b4f1800fd2.jpgLast summer, tens of thousands of Yazidis faced searing heat as they fled a murderous jihadist onslaught in **rthern Iraq, but many survivors are **w shivering in the s**w. They first took precarious refuge on the barren heights of nearby Mount Sinjar, but most of them eventually made their way further afield to safety in Iraq's auto**mous Kurdish region. Sherzad Hussein lives in the Dawdia camp, in the Kurdish province of Dohuk and is one of the few to have housing units. "The s**w that fell a few days ago has melted a bit but it's still freezing at night," said Sherzad Hussein, puffing clouds of warm breath into the frigid air as he energetically shovelled slabs of ice from the roof of his prefabricated shelter.
