DUHOK, Kurdistan Region - A group of three Yezidi girls fled Islamic State (ISIS) captivity and tried to reach the Kurdistan Region. However on the way two were killed in a bomb blast and the third was wounded. 

Their families have already held funerals even though they have yet to recover the bodies. 

"We don’t know where their bodies are. We asked tribes and government to help us find their bodies, but neither government nor the tribes have helped us," said the uncle of one of the dead girls.
