Since Shingal's liberation by the Peshmerga last November several other mass graves have been found in and around the city where many Yezidi men and women have been buried.

Hundreds of Yezidi Kurds were killed, thousands kidnapped and tens of thousands more displaced from Shingal and the Nineveh plains.
