It’s incredibly difficult to watch.

A video of a young Christian girl speaking about ISIS storming her Middle Eastern village and explaining the horrific things the militants did has been released, and provides a jarring view of childhood under terrorist rule.

ISIS held the unidentified girl captive for an undisclosed amount of time.

In the thirty-seven second video produced by Ammeer Kafer for HispanTV, she said, “I am so thankful to you. I thought you would never come for us.”

Explaining that, “we have had no food or water for three days and it was just me and my mother.”

Adding that, my father was killed by the terrorists.

As a military man appearing next to her, bends down to give the small child a kiss on the head, she says “The IS men have taken away so many children from my village.”

“We don’t know what happened to them – some of them died.”

When it comes to her own family being held captive by ISIS, she said, “The men made my mother give them her money and jewels and we have had nothing.”

Looking at the camera, she says, “Thank you, thank you-I would like to kiss your feet” in response to being freed by military forces.

Seconds later, an unidentified officer picks her up and she is carried away in his arms.
