伊拉克雅兹迪营救办公室公布最新统计：3,595名被掳者已获救，2,822人仍下落不明
伊拉克库尔德斯坦地区政府下属的被掳雅兹迪人营救办公室主任 Hussein Qaidi 11月14日向伊拉克通讯社（INA）公布最新统计：2014年8月「伊斯兰国」（ISIS）袭击 Sinjar 及周边村庄时共掳走6,417名伊拉克雅兹迪人，至今已有3,595人获救，仍有2,822人下落不明。
Qaidi 表示，仍下落不明者中过半是妇女和女孩，另有相当数量是当年被强行与家人分离、遭到灌输的儿童。
他说，近期的营救大多在叙利亚境内完成，显示不少失踪者仍在叙利亚境内，特别是 Al-Hol 拘留营一带，也有人身处伊拉克境内与 ISIS 有关联的家庭之中。伊拉克当局不排除部分受害者已被贩运到伊拉克和叙利亚以外的国家。
雅兹迪人是伊拉克北部的古老少数族裔社群。2014年8月，ISIS 攻占雅兹迪人聚居的 Sinjar 地区，大批平民被杀害，数千名妇女和儿童被掳走，此事后来被联合国调查机构认定构成种族灭绝。营救办公室成立于其后，专门负责追踪并营救被掳者，相关工作至今仍在进行。

Yazidi Rescue Office: 3,595 Abductees Rescued Since 2014, 2,822 Still Missing
Hussein Qaidi, director of the Office for the Rescue of Abducted Yazidis under the Kurdistan Regional Government, released updated figures to the Iraqi News Agency (INA) on November 14: of the 6,417 Iraqi Yazidis abducted when the Islamic State (ISIS) attacked Sinjar and surrounding villages in August 2014, 3,595 have been rescued to date, while 2,822 remain unaccounted for.
Qaidi said more than half of those still missing are women and girls, alongside a substantial number of children who were forcibly separated from their families and indoctrinated.
He said most recent rescues have taken place inside Syria, indicating that significant numbers of the missing remain in Syrian territory, particularly in and around the Al-Hol detention camp, as well as among ISIS-affiliated families inside Iraq. Iraqi authorities have not ruled out that some victims were trafficked beyond the borders of Iraq and Syria.
The Yazidis are an ancient minority community in northern Iraq. When ISIS overran the Yazidi homeland around Sinjar in August 2014, large numbers of civilians were killed and thousands of women and children were abducted, in events a United Nations investigative body later found to constitute genocide. The rescue office was set up in the aftermath to trace and free the abducted, and its work continues.
