The Speaker of the EU Parliament was brought to tears when two Yezidi girls recounted the tragic tales of the ISIS attack on Iraq’s Yezidis.
“When I woke up I had lost both eyes and my body was burning. I did not think I would be able to open my eyes ever again,” one of the girls recounted, remembering the ISIS attack.
MPs gave the girls a standing ovation after hearing their tale.
