            UN Launches 'Biggest Aid Operation in 30 Years' in Iraq

   by Henry Ridgwell

   The United Nations has launched what it describes as one of the biggest
   aid operations in 30 years in northern Iraq, as hundreds of thousands
   of refugees flee the extremist Sunni militant group calling itself the
   Islamic State. As Kurdish and Iraqi forces battle the Sunni insurgents,
   the fighting has forced more people to flee their homes. Kurdish
   authorities say the international community must act now to avert a
   humanitarian catastrophe. Henry Ridgwell reports for VOA from London.
