A helicopter carrying humanitarian aid from Iraq’s Kurdish autonomous government to stranded Yazidis in the Sinjar mountains of northern Iraq crashed on Tuesday.

The pilot was killed and many passengers were injured, including a Yazidi member of Parliament and a New York Times journalist.

According to media reports, 56-year old Alissa J. Rubin, a war correspondent for The Times, has at least one broken wrist and 35-year old Adam Ferguson, a freelance photographer working for The Times suffered only some minor bumps.

Aside from the pilot, there were no other fatalities.

Kurdish officials told the New York Times that the helicopter delivered aid to Yazidis stranded on the Sinjar mountains and was returning with some of the displaced on board when it crashed.

Thousands of members of the Yazidi minority community fled to the mountains as Islamic State militants advanced into northern Iraq last week.
