It is reported that Muslims are lending terrified Christians hijab veils to help them
disguise themselves from ISIS terrorists as they try to escape their
clutches.
The tale is one of the stories to emerge from the besieged city of
Marawi in the Philippines – where there are around 1,500 people trapped by the militants.
Marawi in the Philippines – where there are around 1,500 people trapped by the militants.
About 100 people have managed to escape on foot or by risking swimming via a treacherous river.
Those who survived the journey have told medics of the resourcefulness of those who fled.
The head of the psychosocial therapy team, Dr Gioia Ancheta, said:
“Some of the stories that stuck were Muslims helping protect Christian
workers by letting them borrow a hijab.”
Marawi was stormed by militants around three weeks ago – in an
operation which left 290 people dad including 26 innocent civilians.
According to report by Mirror, those who remain trapped in the city
face starvation as they are held as human shields by President
Duterte’s military who are trying to oust the jiahdists.
There are reports that some of the ‘hostages’ are so hungry they
have “started to eat their blankets” according to one local politician,
Zia Alonto Adiong, who is managing the relief effort.
The Independent reports he added: “Some residents are eating
(cardboard) boxes. They just dip it in water to soften the material and
eat it,” he said.
Survivors who escaped say they have witnessed appalling scenes of carnage.
The Philippines military is continuing its assault but efforts are
being hampered by an estimated 200 Islamic State fighters holed up in
‘sniper’ positions.
President Duterte has placed the entire region under martial law in his fightback against Islamic extremism.
