Khalsa Aid, a United Kingdom based charity, is providing aid to over 150 Yazidi refugee families in Northern Iraq. Thousands of persecuted families are forced to flea their homes, and are now living in camps.

Ravinder Singh, the founder and CEO of Khalsa Aid is at the Iraq/Syria border, providing the much needed help to these distressed families.

Here is the story in pictures and videos-

"I am back in northern Iraq, Kurdistan. It is HEARTBREAKING to see the state of Yazidi refugees !! World failed them", said Ravinder Singh, founder and CEO of Khalsa aid.

"Total of 6255 Yazidis were abducted by ISIS in 2014 & out of this 4512 were girls !!!!! Over 3000 still remain enslaved !" says Mr. Singh

Here is a video of Ravinder Singh with a Yazidi woman whose entire family was allegedly killed by ISIS.

Khalsa Aid's efforts are proving to be of great help for those in need. Here is a heartwarming moment from a refugee camp on Syria-Lebanon border, where refugee children send out this message in Punjabi
