Erbil, the capital of the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan, hosts thousands of Christians who fled their towns in 2014 as the Islamic State advanced.
The $525,000 in aid, which will pay for the cost of medicine for six months, is part of the Hungarian government’s initiative to assist persecuted Christians. Viktor Orbán, the current prime minister, assumed office in 2010.
