Iraqi Yazidis stranded on isolated mountaintop begin to die of thirst

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/...064_story.html

"BAGHDAD — Stranded on a barren mountaintop, thousands of minority Iraqis are faced with a bleak choice: descend and risk slaughter at the hands of the encircled Sunni extremists or sit tight and risk dying of thirst.

Humanitarian agencies said Tuesday that between 10,000 and 40,000 civilians remain trapped on Mount Sinjar since being driven out of surrounding villages and the town of Sinjar two days earlier. But the mountain that had looked like a refuge is becoming a graveyard for their children..."

Ever notice how it becomes a humanitarian crisis only if the MSM decides it should be one. Bet the MSM can't even spell "Yazidis".
