SINJAR — A total of 11,025 Kurdish Yezidi families, which were displaced by the Islamic State (IS), have now returned to their homes in different areas of Sinjar Region, said Mayor Mahma Khalil.

“At least 600 families from central Sinjar are among those who have recently returned,” Khalil told BasNews, noting that 50 to 100 Yezidi families are leaving the IDP camps on daily basis.

He renewed a call on the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the international community to step up the reconstruction efforts in the liberated Yezidi areas in hopes of facilitating the return of the IDPs.

The official further criticised the Iraqi federal government for failing to provide any assistance to the Yezidis, pointing out that all the aid is delivered by the KRG and a number of international NGOs.
