Mideast Iraq Abandoned Villages

In this picture taken Friday, April 8, 2016, a view of the village of Asey, Iraq, one of the few villages still inhabited in the area close to the Turkish border. Dozens of villages have been abandoned and hundreds of families displaced close to Iraq’s northern border with Turkey as a result of Turkish air strikes targeting militants of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, better known as the PKK.
