Majida, 9 years old, (please look also here and here and here)
»I have two sisters, five brothers and my parents. We come from Sibasheikxedir in the Sinjar mountains and have been here for two months.
We were sleeping when Daesh attacked and we did run away from our homes then. I took only the clothes that I had on and our identity cards.
First we spent 10 days in the mountains with very little to drink. There was hardly any food also, we only had dried bread. We walked down towards Syria. From there, a truck brought us to Kurdistan.
During the day I'm playing with friends and take part in some educational lessons in a tent.
I miss my old village and my sheep which I had to leave in our village.
At night I'm dreaming sometimes of Daesh.
I want to be a doctor. Thank you.«
