Some of them are still missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2014 and 2017, ISIS committed war crimes, crimes against humanity, and what the UN describes as genocide against the Yezidi community in Iraq, Amnesty said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, the two boys, identified as Vian and Barzan, escaped from ISIS and currently live in northern Iraq.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A friendship flourished between Vian and Barzan during the times they were fighting alongside ISIS in the middle of the most difficult circumstances, Amnesty added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vian and Barzan used to tell each other about each one&#8217;s sadness and so became best friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;To date, many Yezidi survivors have still not received adequate support for their physical health, mental health or education,&#8221; Amnesty noted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reporting-by-sara-youssef\"><strong>Reporting by Sara <\/strong><strong>Youssef<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
