'God gives and takes away': Story of a woman from Mosul who lost everything
In the horror of the war with ISIS, one man’s welcome into his family of a woman who lost everything is a bright spark.
Rawa Farhan, 21, lost her husband and two young children in the war. Her husband, a policeman, was killed by the extremist group. Her two children and mother-in-law were killed by a mortar. Farhan herself was injured. She was not even able to bury her children.
God gives and takes away, she said.
Now, she has a new home. Arriving at an IDP camp in the Kurdistan Region, she has been welcomed into the family of a friend of her deceased father.
“I am serving and taking care of Rawa more than I am doing for my own daughters,” said Saed Muzahm.
