Tempers fray as displaced Iraqis break Muslim fast

In this Sunday, June 29, 2014 photo, displaced Iraqi citizens gather for a communal meal to break their fast during the first day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, at an encampment for displaced Iraqis who fled from Mosul and other towns, in the Khazer area outside Irbil, northern Iraq. The grueling fast, in which believers abstain from water, food and cigarettes from sunrise to sunset, has been made even harsher for many living in dusty, hot tents.
