CWN Editor's Note: Iraqi Christians who are being evicted from a refugee camp in Baghdad are now being offered shelter in a former seminary.

About 120 Christian families, who had been living in the refugee camp since the Islamic State drove them from their homes in the Nineveh Plain in 2014, will be housed in what had been a Chaldean Catholic seminary in Dora. They had been forced out of the refugee camp by developers looking to build a shopping center.
