'''Hezany''' is an [[Assyrian Chaldean people|AssyrianChaldean]] village in the [[Iraq]]i province of [[Duhok Governorate|Dohuk]].Hezany is one of the seven remaining Assyrian Chaldean villages in the [[Nahla valley]], which is located on the border between Duhok and [[Nineveh]]. The small Khabour river crosses through Nahla and waters the lands of these Assyrian Chaldean villages.
After the first [[Gulf War]] in 1991, many residents returned to the village and dwelled in temporary shelters built by [[Christian Aid]] from the [[United Kingdom]]. Currently, there are 27 families living in the village. An [[Assyrian Chaldean people|AssyrianChaldean]] school was recently opened in the village, which attracted Assyrian students from other nearby villages. The villagers live primarily on farming and they water their lands through a primitive [[irrigation system]]. There are no paved roads, and hence mules are their main transportation to and from the village.
