Fawzia Amin Sido shares harrowing experiences of her decade-long captivity under ISIS, including being forced to eat the meat of Yazidi babies.

  • Fawzia Amin Sido, a Yazidi woman, was captured by ISIS in 2014 at the age of nine and was recently rescued by the Israeli Defense Forces in Gaza.
  • Sido recounted being forced to eat rice with meat that ISIS militants later revealed to be the flesh of Yazidi babies.
  • The revelation came with graphic evidence, as captors showed photos of beheaded babies to the prisoners, causing severe emotional trauma.
  • Sido was sold to multiple jihadi fighters during her captivity and had two children with one of her captors, Abu Amar al-Makdisi.
  • Despite her rescue and reunion with her family in Iraq, Sido's children remain in Gaza with their father's family.
