Fawzia Amin Sido, Released Yazidi Hostage on ISIS Brutality

Fawzia Amin Sido, a Yazidi woman, who had been held hostage in Gaza by the ISIS several years ago, was recently rescued by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) and the US Embassy. The Yazidi woman, of Sinjar area of Northern Iraq was taken hostage almost a decade ago, at the age of eleven.

Fawzia Amin Sido, in a conversation with British documentary filmmaker Alan Duncan, revealed the ISIS brutalities she had had to go through during her time as a hostage in Gaza.

‘Meat Had a Weird Taste… Made Us Eat Babies’

As quoted by The Sun and the Jerusalem Post, Fawzia said that she was made to eat babies along with other hostages and ISIS also showed pictures of those beheaded babies, after the meals.

The Sun report quoted her as saying, “They cooked rice and also meat and brought it to us. Because we were so hungry, we just ate what was on the table. While we were eating we knew something was wrong because the taste was weird but we just ate because we were hungry. After, we all had stomach ache and felt sick.”

She further revealed, “When we were done, they told us that the meat was from the babies. There was a woman who had a heart attack at that moment and died. They showed us pictures of the beheaded kids and babies and said 'these are the kids you ate'. It is very hard but it was not our fault, they forced us but of course it is very hard for us that this happened. Nothing was in our hands."

‘Never Saw Sunlight… Had to Drink Dirty Water’

The reports also revealed other atrocities that the hostage had to face by the ISIS; the media reports quote Fawzia as saying, “We were held in the dark the whole time. We never saw the sunlight. We were in a prison, we didn't do anything, we couldn't go outside. We had to drink dirty water, some children died. It was a very tough time. These men came in and if they liked a girl they took them with them.”

‘I Was Bought and Sold 5 Times, Drugged and Raped at 15’

Fawzia Amin Sido, who remained captive in Gaza for almost a decade, also revealed that apart the ISIS terrorists were also involved in human trafficking and sex trade. She herself was ‘bought and sold five times’ and was ‘drugged and raped’ at the age of 15.

Reports quoted her as saying, “At the beginning, I would hide in the bathroom until he was asleep because I didn't know what he wanted from me. I was scared. I didn't want him to do anything. When he noticed I was hiding, one day he gave me drugs and I fell asleep and he raped me.”
