The UN has declared its highest level of emergency in Iraq as a humanitarian crisis follows the advance by Islamic State (IS) militants in the north.</span>
14 August 2014

"Bayan Abdul Rahman, who represents the Kurdish regional government in the UK, said the number of trapped refugees should be no excuse for inaction. They should be rescued whether there were "5,000 or 50,000" of them, he said."


Kurdish officials said the situation in Dohuk city, with 150,000 refugees, was now critical.

But the US said a rescue mission to aid thousands who fled to Mount Sinjar was unlikely as it had found fewer people and better conditions than expected

The UN estimates that 1.2 million Iraqis have been internally displaced
.

The three other countries that have the same emergency status are Syria, South Sudan and the Central African Republic.

But Obama said U.S. involvement will not come to an end, as militants with the Islamic State -- also known as ISIS, or ISIL -- continue to brutalize the civilian population in the region, especially minorities like Iraqi Christians and Yazidis.

Obama said "we will continue airstrikes" where necessary to protect American personnel and facilities in Iraq.
