Iraqi forces free 2 Yazidi girls in Mosul

The Iraqi army on Monday (July 10th) found two Yazidi girls left behind by the "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS) at an abandoned house in newly-liberated Mosul, the ministry of interior said Tuesday.

"The army's 9th Armoured Division freed two Yazidi girls during an operation to clear the remaining areas of al-Midan in western Mosul," ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Saad Maan told Diyaruna.

The girls were found "in poor health condition in a locked house", Maan said.

"The two girls are victims of ISIS's terrorism as they had been kidnapped three years ago," he said

They were taken to a health centre for treatment before being handed over to their families, he said.
