Yazidi Romeo and Juliet

Activists are warning of an increase in suicide rates among Yazidi refugees. In the past two months, fourteen young people, displaced from their homes, have taken their own lives in refugee camps. Two of them were young lovers who became known as "Romeo and Juliet" of the refugees. Our correspondent in Iraq, Ahmed Maher has told us their story.
