Citizenship and Immigration committee  I have not asked yet. The example that I gave happened in, I believe, Turkey, with one of the families who had fled there.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Greetings from Iraq. Over the last year, I have been serving as the director of a community centre providing services to a population of over 40,000 displaced Yazidis.
