Many Yezidis have not been able to return to their homes in the Shingal region despite their area being free for more than a year.
Many of them cite lack of public services as the reason for not returning home yet, and some believe with the war going on against ISIS not far away in Mosul, it might not be a good time to leave the safety of refugee camps.
The town of Shingal is one of the main places of the Yezidi community and Snune, considered one of the biggest towns in Iraq is another where only 8,000 people are said have returned so far.
