Selfless man chooses to stay in war-torn Iraq to feed refugee families

A British Sikh man of Indian origin is putting his life on the line time and again so that he can help persecuted minorities in Iraq. The country, which has been a war zone for many years, has become a particularly dangerous place for the Yazidis who have faced unspeakable atrocities under the rule of ISIS.

Around 400 of these Yazidi families have taken refuge at Mount Sinjar where they now inhabit previously abandonded buildings and official camps. Ravi Singh, 47, was deeply moved when he first heard about the tragic experiences of the victims and decided to help them out.

Every month he arrives with packets of necessary supplies like tinned tomatoes, pasta, oil, sugar, tea, rice, and even a cleaning kit that contains bleach, soap and a packet of washing powder. The BBC even went on to make a documentary about the Samaritan which was titled ‘The Selfless Sikh’.
