TOPSHOTS
Nuns visit Iraqi Christian family that fled violence in the northern city of Mosul, upon their arrival in the village of Qaraqush, about 30 kms southeast of Iraq's second largest city, Mosul, and the capital of the northern province of Nineveh, on July 19, 2014. Hundreds of Christian families fled their homes in Mosul as a jihadist ultimatum threatening their community's centuries-old presence in the northern Iraqi city expired. The jihadists, who have run the city since a sweeping military offensive that began six weeks ago, had told the thousands of Christians in Mosul they could convert, pay a special tax or leave. Other minorities rooted in the same province of Nineveh -- such as the Yazidis, as well as the Turkmen and Shabak Shiite communities -- have suffered even more, with many kidnapped and killed.
