About 1300 Yazidi Children still missing 10 years after genocide

“It is very difficult to live in tents in the heat. In winters, with heavy rain, the tent gets watery...Children have no place to play, they play in the streets, which are full of stray animals... Children get diseases from the dirt.

Teenagers and little girls, even though they are around 10 years old, always say that they wish they were dead and didn't have to live like this. "This tragedy and massacre that has happened to the Yazidi people, it is not forgotten and even now when we go to Sinjar, the bones have not been collected.”

In Sinjar, homes and buildings remain destroyed, and streets are littered with rubble and explosive remnants of war, making it one of the most contaminated regions in Iraq with unexploded ordnance, according to aid organisation Humanity & Inclusion [10]. The conflict-damaged infrastructure severely limits access to water and electricity, and there is a shortage of schools and hospitals for returning residents.
