German aid for Yazidis affected by IS terror in northern Iraq

Duisburg. (19.10.2015) The aid organisation I.S.A.R. Germany is continuing to help the Yazidis in northern Iraq who are being persecuted by the terrorist organisation „Islamic State“. „We are very concerned about the fate of the Yazidis,“ says I.S.A.R. President Dr Daniela Lesmeister. Many Yazidis have fled to the Sinjar Mountains to escape the terror. In their homeland, they are threatened with murder and enslavement. Fleeing was therefore the only way out for the Yazidis.

The Yazidis mostly had to leave their belongings behind. Now they lack the most basic necessities. I.S.A.R. Germany and the Yezidi community in Kleve therefore organised an aid campaign for the people in need a year ago. The joint project is now to be continued. The aim is to support the Yazidis in the Sinjar Mountains as winter approaches by making their shelters winter-proof and equipping them with heating facilities. The relief supplies are to be procured in the region and distributed to those in need.

I.S.A.R. Germany and the Yazidi community are therefore calling for donations for the Yazidis in Iraq affected by ISIS terror. Every cent helps to alleviate the suffering of the Yazidis!
