Two young children make their way through the rows of white, canvas tents they now call home.
As the world continues to watch the unfolding plight of the Syrian refugees a Westcountry-based humanitarian charity goes on supporting those in need.
The myriad of canvas tents stretching across the Domiz refugee camp over the border in Iraq's Kurdistan region were sent by ShelterBox based at Helston, West Cornwall.
Rebecca Novell, 26, from St Agnes, Cornwall, has recently returned from her second trip to the country. She was part of a two-person response team sent to the Kurdistan region.
She said: "I said to one man 'that's horrific' after he showed me a video of someone being murdered.
"He saw my face and laughed. 'That's normal,' he told me.
"That man was 24-year-old Hoshnav, who recorded the death on his phone, before paying 20,000 Syrian pounds (about £180) to be smuggled out of the country.
"His family has now joined him in the refugee camp.
"With just a ShelterBox canvas tent to call home, other families are terrified at the prospect of the cold winter ahead." Rebecca met Abdullah Salem, his wife and two-month-old baby.
He told Rebecca: "We are worried about the winter.
"It's already getting cold at night but it is supposed to get freezing here with really strong cold winds in the coming weeks.
"We need more blankets and a warmer place to live. There is also nothing to do here – we are suffering."
A team of ShelterBox Response Team volunteers is working with a the Iraqi Barzani Charitable Foundation to get shelter and other non-food items to refugees in the north. The charity has already begun to set up winter ShelterBox tents in the camp.
Rebecca said: "The deployment has gone really smoothly so far. Most of the refugees will be here for at least six months through the winter, so it's important the tents are well insulated.
"It was amazing to return and see the ShelterBox tents full of families with children and older members. They all have had a very long and dangerous journey to reach the camp and they are so grateful to have shelter and warmth as opposed to sleeping out under the stars in the cold nights."
There are currently around 3,000 families at the camp, with an average of 1,000 people arriving each day.
Rebecca added: "So many young men are running away from the Syrian Army.
"Many have had to kill their own people and carry-out unthinkable atrocities."
