there are more displaced refugees than there are full time residents. the area is full of people no place else to go. a lot of the people from sinjar mountain have now managed to come around. they come across into syria and northern iraq. that doesn't mean their difficult journey is over. this floating area is the place for displaced yazidis. thousands have come this way with the hem of syrian kurdish rebels. the yazidi live in the kurdish region but with their towns taken over by islamic state fighters here they rely on the kindness of strangers. by the time a lot of these people cross this bridge they have been stranded on the mountains for days. and they've walked for hours. these are the survivors but a lot of them wonder what will 75

survive of their community. yazidi tried and failed to defend their towns. >> translator: seven of my relatives were killed by rebels, they were killed by beheadings. >> decapitated body of her brother moussah. >> my brother was beheaded and they put it on the internet for everyone to see. >> in yazidi say they have suffered 17 massacres over the century. the only solution is for them all to leave. their anger extends to their leaders. why should they listen to the prince of the yazidis? >> it's been 300 years. they change our nationality to

international effort. but along with other countries they are trying to address this humanitarian crisis now spreading across northern iraq but the much bigger problem is how to fight the islamic state fighters and make sure the rest of this country remains stable. >> the crisis on sinjar mountain has attracted western governments in the way the rest of the region hasn't. within the past week the united states has launched emotional a dozen air strikes against the islamic state group. while u.k. has been planning a rescue operation on the ground. both countries have been dropping aid onto the mountain and air rescue some of the yazidis on the mountain. u.k. pledged millions of extra support in the last few days. bleak and disprip situation, millions have been -- desperate situation, millions have been

strategy -- full throated strategy take a look at what your national interests are and you support those national interests through an objective. we have seen pinprick responses but if we truly recognize that it is in our national interest to defeat if not destroy the islamic state, we're going to need to support more than dropping bombs from 30,000 feet. >> now reports from eastern ukraine suggest five people have been killed during more fighting in donetske. it comes as the ukrainian government says it seized the town of novaslitsika, cutting off luhansk. supplies to be distributed by the red cross. a much larger humanitarian convoy from russia is also traveling to the same region. kyiv says it will only be allowed entry if the red cross examines the cargo. let's start with donetske how

for the last few days. this morning it moved further south and now seems to have set up a camp around 10 kilometers from the border with ukraine. and if it was to come this that way it would come through separatist-held territory and i think that would send alarm bells to ukraine and also the international community. which has been very worried about what is on this convoy, russia of course says that it's carrying aid. the ukraine is very concerned that it could be a pretext to sending in arms which it believes russia has been backing the separatist movement here in the east of ukraine. >> emma hayward reporting for us live from kharkiv. >> new sanction he on moscow. the kremlin retaliated from a ban on food imports from europe. the european union is meeting to discuss how that will affect
