This vehicle saved our lives, during the mass refugee escape of Kurds of Northern Iraq in Spring 1991, we lived for 16 days & 16 nights in it.
A recreational vehicle that comfortably accommodate max 3 individuals, at one point there were 35 people in it including a badly wounded brother with mortar shell shrapnel pieces still imbedded in his body from the bottom of his feet to his lower back, and a blind/ disoriented 97 year old grandmother… and the rest of us and relatives and neighbors and few people who just could walk no more, or had to save their children so they ‘toss’ them into our RV…
I will blog the full story of those days; the days leading to that event and the days after all was over.
