The Taste Of Freedom
A cameraman caught the moment as young Aysha was rescued and thanked those who saved her. Aysha told them, ‘I’m so thankful to you. I thought you would never come for us. We have had no food or water for three days and it was just me and my mother, my father was taken and killed by the terrorists.” Despite suffering so much tragedy at such a young age, Aysha showed amazing strength and concern for other children. She continued, “The IS men have taken away so many children from my village and we don’t know what happened to them. Some of them died. The men made my mother give them her money and jewels and we have had nothing. Thank you, thank you. I would like to kiss your feet.” A soldier gave her a hug and a kiss on the top her head before carrying her off to safety. Thankfully for Aysha, the tenacity of these brave soldiers brought her to safety!
