Yazidian refugee Sohare Salam, 13, eats a piece of bread, the first food she has had in several days, in the back of a truck after being rescued from the mountains of Sinjar and arriving to safety in Til Kocer, Syria, photographed on August 9, 2014. Sohare and her family were stranded in the Sinjar Mountains after IS militants attacked her village, killing thousands and enslaving hundreds of women and children. The YPG and YPJ played a major role in helping liberate the citizens of Sinjar, rescuing them from the mountain top while simultaneously fighting IS in Northwestern Kurdistan.
