Diyarbakir is an iconic Mesopotamian city, walled in black basalt and skirted by the Tigris River. Crammed within those walls today and spilling over onto the scorching concrete of the “new city” are hundreds of thousands of war refugees. I am here this week to see what more we can do to help them.
