Tens of thousands of Syrian Kurds have crossed into neighbouring Iraq's northern self-ruled Kurdish region over the past months, in the biggest waves of refugees since the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar Assad began, according to UN officials.

Around 225-thousand Syrians, the vast majority of them Kurds, have crossed the border to the self-ruled Kurdish region of northern Iraq.
