Yazidi Genocide and the Kurdish rescue at Mount Sinjar (2014)

An Iraqi gunner opens fire at possible ISIS targets during a rescue operation by the Iraqi Air Force and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters on August 11, 2014. The dramatic operation at Iraq's Mount Sinjar involved taking supplies to desperate Yazidis and even bringing some aboard a helicopter to make it safely out of the area. A CNN crew was on the flight, which took diapers, milk, water and food to the site. Thousands of people have been fleeing from the militant group ISIS, which has taken over large swaths of northern and western Iraq as it seeks to create an Islamic caliphate that stretches from Syria into Iraq. https://www.cnn.com/2014/08/11/world/... Since the ISIS extremists' attack 5,000 Yazidis have been killed on Mount Sinjar, with a further 7,000 women and girls kept as sex slaves. Some of the killings were brutally simplistic, with people lined up at checkpoints, shot dead, then bulldozed into mass graves. Others were herded into temples which were later blown up. UN researchers said hundreds more men had been killed for refusing to convert to Islam. Tens of thousands of Yazidis fled into the Sinjar Mountains after the militant onslaught on Sinjar, part of ISIS' lightning advance into north and western Iraq. Iraq's Human Rights Ministry said at the time that hundreds of women were abducted by the militants, who consider the Yazidis, a centuries-old religious minority, a heretical sect. Human Rights Watch said ISIS 'separated young women and teenage girls from their families and has forced some of them to marry its fighters'. One woman told the organisation that she saw Islamic State fighters buying girls, and a teenage girl said a fighter bought her for $1,000. Surrounded by ISIS and forgotten by the world, thousands of Yazidis needed to be rescued from Mount Sinjar as militants closed in. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...
