ai generated text

Fawzia Sido, a 21-year-old member of the Yazidi religious minority, was rescued in a coordinated operation. Sido was captured by ISIS in 2014, along with thousands of others, with the UN later confirming this as genocide. The rescue involved cooperation between the US, Israel, Jordan, and Iraq.

    1. The recent death of her captor in Gaza allowed her to escape, and we were contacted by the Iraqi government, who was made aware of the fact that she escaped, that she was alive, and that she wanted to come home to her family.

    1. Hamas constantly harassed me due to my Yazidi background and contact with my family, even going so far as to format my phone [erase its contents] during their investigations. After a year, they moved me to a guest house.
    2. We ended up in Al-Hol camp (in Syria) before we were smuggled to Idlib in 2019, and from there, we went to Turkey. In 2020, they arranged a passport for me in Turkey so I could fly from Istanbul to Hurghada, Egypt, and then to Gaza.
