Children in the Kurdistan region of Iraq face missing out on school. The Kurdistan Regional Government delayed the start of school by a month, to today. But the crisis, initiated in June by militants of the Islamic State, has no end in sight.
Today, Iraqi children should be going back to school. But as schools in the Kurdistan region of Iraq become home to hundreds of thousands who have fled violence from the Islamic State militants, it seems unlikely.
More than 650 schools across the Dohuk governorate, which has seen its population grow by almost 50 percent over the last year, are occupied with over 21,000 families.
