Refugees Fleeing ISIS Offensive Pour Into Kurdistan

ERBIL, IRAQ - JUNE 29: Men handle pigeons near the Citadel in Erbil on June 29, 2014 in Erbil, Iraq. Tens of thousands of displaced Iraqis and Syrians have converged on the ancient city of Erbil as fighting between Islamists and the Syrian and Iraqi governments intensifies. The displacement camp of Khazair near Mosul is now home to an estimated 1,500 internally displaced persons (IDP's) with the number rising daily. Tens of thousands of people have fled Iraq's second largest city of Mosul after it was overrun by ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) militants. Many have been temporarily housed at various IDP camps around the region including the area close to Erbil, as they hope to enter the safety of the nearby Kurdish region (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
