It's then murdering civilians 2 who don't practise ISIS's strict interpretation 3 of Islam. That includes the Yazidis, a group whose religion is older than Islam. ISIS trapped tens of thousands of Yazidis on Mount *, northwestern Iraq. Conditions are so bad for these civilians that about 20,000 of them fled to Syria, a country currently at civil war.

Despite being shot at by ISIS fighters on this flight, a rocket forces had been able to rescue about 100 to 150 people a day like this. But dozens of Yazidis have died on this mountain. They are facing hunger, thirst and extreme temperatures.
