MALIKIYA, Syria (AP) — In a dusty camp here, Iraqi refugees have new heroes: Syrian Kurdish fighters who battled militants to carve out an escape route for tens of thousands trapped on a mountaintop.

While the U.S. and Iraqi militaries struggle to aid the starving members of Iraq's Yazidi minority with supply drops from the air, the Syrian Kurds took it on themselves to rescue them. ...

For the past few days, fighters have been rescuing Yazidis from the mountain, transporting them into Syrian territory to give them first aid, food and water, and returning some to Iraq via a pontoon bridge.

So does the Christians’ position disallow humanitarian food drops as well? & are the IS fighters blocking their egress getting bombed at all?

Money bills originate in the House where the Dems are a clear minority. Let the Republicans in the House originate something to help and if the Senate Dems doen’t act they will have an excellent campaign slur.
