Millions of Iraqis and Syrians have fled the onslaught of the Islamic State, the radical group that seems hellbent on carving out a pseudo-state in the Middle East.
The people who have run from ISIS have tried to make temporary homes at refugee camps in Jordan, Turkey, parts of Iraq and elsewhere, but many of them have little with which to make a new life. Some left their homes with nothing other than what they wore.
Below, we've posted photographs of a handful of refugees at a camp in Iraqi Kurdistan, along with a few details of their lives, courtesy of a nonprofit group called Spirit of America that provides boots to refugees to help them make it through the winter.
