To clarify: The girl was very very sick—not dead. Mother says dead. In Kurdish the Arabic term ‘janaza’ is also used in the meaning of ‘nearly dead’ Woman’s husband is missing and her daughter is dying. The context was lost in the translation. Video is genuine! Report by K24 TV
I am sad to learn that Kurdish journalist and photographer Vedat Erdemci was killed in Serêkanîyê ( Ras al-Ain) I met him near Baghouz in February. He was a talented photographer and working on a documentary on Yezidis. RIP!
