I cannot tell you how many times mothers would say to me, my son or husband did not want to join ISIS or al-Qaeda but we had not fed our little girl in 2 weeks. What were we supposed to do?

Unfortunately, because of the lack of funds that we were faced with in the last few months, we have been having to take food from the hungry children to give to starving children, which is a situation that none of us like to be in.
