News reports from different sources have related that Qaraqosh, or Bahkdida, located in Northern Iraq in the Nineveh province has fallen yesterday, August 7, as the Peshmerga and other allies have deemed it incapable of defense and made it an open city.
The photo above from Yves Gellie of Getty Images shows a baptism of local Qaraqosh Christians in 2003.
Pope Francis has issued a message calling for prayers, peace and humanitarian assistance.
There is also a website which helps you send your prayers across, Hozana.org.
