It took U.S. airstrikes against ISIS positions, airlifts of U.S. and international aid, and rescue efforts by Kurdish Peshmerga forces to help thousands of Yazidis escape imminent danger from ISIS forces in northern Iraq.
But the nightmare
continues for hundreds of Yazidi girls and women, unable to get out of
harm's way, who are being being sold by ISIS to its fighters in Syria,
according to a human rights group.
In the past few weeks,
ISIS has distributed or sold about 300 Yazidi girls and women it
abducted in Iraq, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a
UK-based monitoring group aligned with the opposition in Syria.Source: CNN
