Two Yazidi girls, 14 and 11, were said to be living in a tent with a woman loyal to ISIL in the al-Hol camp in eastern Syria, where tens of thousands of ISIL family members are being detained, said Mahmoud Rasho, the Yazidi leader. Perhaps hundreds of them are children, who are still being hidden by ISIL families in camps or homes, Rasho said. Alone among the four children, he volunteered in late May to be rescued, after spending three months in jail with captured ISIL fighters. In my mind it’s chaos.”When reminded that ISIL had committed atrocities, the children quickly dismissed them. Rasho acknowledged that the children are facing difficulties adjusting but predicted they would adapt once they got home.
