Around 16:00, 500 IDPs fled ISIS and crossed the front line into Peshmerga Battalion 4 HQ in Abu Jarbuah area, Iraqi Kurdistan. There are over 3,000 IDPs still outside the wire. Tonight we need food and water for 500 people. Tomorrow we will need food and water for over 3,000 people.

We have two medics and are treating sick and injured but will need more general supplies.

Thanks for all your love and prayers, and may God bless you,

David and the FBR team in Kurdistan
