Iraqi families fleeing the advance of ISIS militants have been stranded for months in Kurdish-controlled areas of the north.

Samaritan’s Purse addressed some of their needs this week by providing more than 1,500 kerosene heaters and over 11,000 blankets to displaced men, women, and children seeking refuge in the cities of Erbil and Dohuk. These items will benefit more than 3,500 families and further relief is coming. Learn more here: bit.ly/1xiupcg
