Life of Kurdish Yezidis in Lalish Temple
Kurdish Yezidi refugees displaced over the last year by ISIS are living in difficult conditions in Lalish Temple, one of their religion’s holiest sites.
A lack of electricity and drinking water in the suffocative weather of the region has caused exacerbated problems for the long-suffering minority.
Lalish is a small mountain village situated in the Sheikhan District of Mosul province in northern Iraq. It is a pilgrimage site and the burial place of Yezidi holy man Adi Ibn Musafir, considered an avatar in the faith. Musafir, called Sheikh Adi by Yezidis, died in 1162.
