Ahlam, 12 years old
»I came here four months ago with my three brothers, eight sisters and parents.
Before that we lived in Xanesor in the Sinjar mountains. I only took my clothes, when I fled. The route to get here was very bad, when we finally arrived, we were so very thirsty and hungry.
I do not attend school and I am doing nothing during the day.
I have no friends here, they are all far away.
Two things make me happy: If I could play with my friends and if Daesh disappears from Sinjar and it becomes again as it used to be.
I'm not afraid in the camp, but I miss my friends and my village. I'm dreaming of our old house, my family and my friends.
I would be happy if we had more clothes, carpets for the tent and a heater.«
