Additional Information / Shotlist Syrian refugees are crossing the border into Iraqi Kurdistan in huge numbers, with more than 42,300 passing through the Peshkabour border crossing since it reopened a week ago on 15 August. Teams from the international medical organisation Médecins Sans Frontières have set up health posts on both sides of the border, providing medical consultations and distributing water to refugees waiting to be transferred to five transit camps which are currently being set up in Erbil and Sulaymaniya governorates.
