IS victim who burned herself to avoid further rape among those being helped by Germans

The Yazidi girl had been in the safety of a refugee camp in Iraq for two weeks when she imagined she heard the voices of Islamic State (IS) fighters outside her tent.

Petrified by the thought of again facing rape and abuse at their hands, 17-year-old Yasmin vowed to make herself undesirable.

So she doused herself in gasoline and lit a match. The flames burned her hair and face, peeling away her nose, lips, and ears.
