@Khalsa_Aid have been supporting #yezidi families in Iraq since the genocide of 2014. I had the privilege of visiting 3 times in 2019 working with @amarjit_bear@FahmiSozan@5samirfaris distributing food parcels . @RaviSinghKA still supplying food parcels world wide including Uk.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Baba Sheikh Khurto Hajji Ismail. We extend our sincerest condolences to the Yazidi people in Iraq and around the world.

Today, the Yazidi community lost a beacon of light with the passing Baba Sheikh. The Yazidi spiritual leader embodied our values of wisdom, kindness & tolerance. He led the community by example & treated Yazidi survivors with love & respect. He will be forever missed.
Unser Mitgefühl an die Jesidische Gemeinde zum Tod von Baba Sheikh Khurto Haji Ismail. Wir trauern mit Ihnen! #Deutschland wird weiterhin die #Jesiden im #Irak, aber auch in unserem Land unterstützen
اليوم ارسلت ليلى صورتها مع الاطفال المحررين حديثا امير واميرة مع رسالة شكر وتقدير الى السيد رئيس الوزراء — وكان لي الشرف ان انقل تلك الرساله. قالت له ليلى في الرسالة "شكرا لانك وعدتني، واوفيت بهذا الوعد".
My eye had been watering for two days, last time this happened was when I was in Iraq with @amarjit_bear@Khalsa_Aid then twice with @RaviSinghKA when the 50c heat caused my lotion to go in my eyes .My thoughts are never far from @FahmiSozan and @5samirfaris
World refugee day yesterday, Fathers day to day.Please remember all those refugees especially the #Yezids who have lost so many Fathers. Please donate to @Khalsa_Aid who have been supporting these families since 2014. My thoughts are with @5samirfaris who works for his community
Happy Yezidis new year(Ser Sal)
@5samirfaris@FahmiSozan my first trip to Iraq with @Khalsa_Aid/@amarjit_bansal is etched on my mind. I hope you are keeping safe during these difficult times.
In these difficult and trying times, I still think daily of my visits to Iraq.Met @FahmiSozan and @5samirfaris on my first visit with @Khalsa_Aid . Memory will be in my heart forever. https://t.co/o8xoP1T2Hr
It’s good to see our volunteers in #Kurdistan ( #Iraq) safe & well after the missile attacks by #Iran last night.
The local team of volunteers are led by @FahmiSozan#IranAttacks
A 20 year old #Yezidi girl, who was taken by ISIS, just returned home!
Rana was kidnapped back in 2014 (at the age of 15 years old) with her family, her father & brother are still missing.
The news was broken to us whilst we were dropping off the families monthly food packs.
Chair @tperkins: “USCIRF calls on Turkey to immediately cease airstrikes on #Sinjar Iraq. Despite Turkey's claim that its operations target PKK positions, they are in fact victimizing #Yazidi genocide survivors displaced in & around Sinjar.” https://t.co/zBefuA0r5K
The heartbreaking tales for refugees fleeing #Syria. 💔
This lady refugee telling a film crew how she managed to flee with her children. So many similar tales of suffering.
Last morning in Iraq. Thanks to @5samirfaris@FahmiSozan once again. Very worthwhile trip. Without @RaviSinghKA and @Khalsa_Aid there would not have been clean water in the refugee camp. 68,000 litres in 6 trucks working constantly throughout the day. @SikhPA
Back in Iraq to help @RaviSinghKA@Khalsa_Aid humanitarian crises please visit https://t.co/iS4LKR17zf to donate. We need to supply drink8ng water and food for refugees fleeing. Over 8000 over the last week's. @AduduTrish@BBCCovWarks@covobservernews
Thanks @5samirfaris for your amazing work. Samir is a genocide survivor from Sinjar who dedicated his life to justice and service to humanity.
