But they were really in the heart of a maelstrom, with Turkish Forces moving on from one side and of course the regime are now moving into that area, their children removed to raqqa with 21 other orphans. It is worth remembering what these children have been through. They have seen their pa rents been through. They have seen their parents die in front of them. They have witnessed the most incredible atrocities. And they have suffered under the islamic s tape propaganda for many, many years. These children are victims, and while they are in a safe place at the moment, syria is not safe at all. So it is very important that we learn as much information as we can about their relatives back in britain as soon as possible, so that we can start the process of bringing these children home.
