In some cases, their families know where they are and have even been in contact with them or their captors. But financial support from governments and private donors, as well as interest from them in finding the missing Yazidis, has dried up. While about half of the captured Yazidis either escaped or were rescued, almost 3,000 more are still missing, according to Iraq’s Kurdistan regional government. Two years after ISIS lost the last territories it controlled, most Yazidi families from Sinjar are still missing family members. “Some of the survivors go to Australia or Canada or other countries, and one part of the family is there and the other part is still missing,” Shrim said.
