Displaced Iraqis from the Yazidi community look for clothes to wear among items provided by a charity organization at the Nowruz camp, in Derike, Syria, Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2014. In the camps here, Iraqi refugees have new heroes: Syrian Kurdish fighters who battled militants to carve an escape route to tens of thousands trapped on a mountaintop. While the U.S. and Iraqi militaries dropped food and water to the starving members of Iraqs Yazidi minority, the Kurds took it on themselves to rescue them, a sign of how Syrias Kurds, like Iraqs, are using the regions conflicts to establish their own rule.

Hurban, a music teacher in Argentina, made his first public appearance since he was identified as the long-sought grandson of Carlotto, the country's leading human rights activist. She spent 36 years searching for the child taken from her daughter, who was executed by the military during the country's military dictatorship. Carlotto refers to him as Guido, the name her slain daughter intended to give him. (AP Photo/Natacha Pisarenko) (AP)
