500 women and children buried alive by Islamic extremists [View all]

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/middle-east-conflict-500-women-4034384

Petrified women and children were buried alive in a mass slaughter by Islamic State extremists, it was claimed yesterday.

An estimated 500 Yazidis were murdered in the atrocity in Iraq, according to the country’s human rights minister. He also said around 300 girls and women have been kidnapped as slaves by the terror group.

The outrages have piled pressure on the West to step up its actions against the jihadists who have besieged around 150,000 Yazidis in the Sinjar region of the country.

Desperate families on foot continued to flee for their lives at the weekend. Children and stricken adults were carried during the exodus in the searing heat.
