#SDF sources expected up to 2000 to leave today, meaning there could be still more exiting tonight.
They join the 3500 people who had left the #ISIS-controlled camp on Saturday alone, per #SDF figures.

In fact among the 13 children who were rescued from the hands of #ISIS yesterday, 9 are #Yazidi and 4 are #Shia from Til Afar (Iraq).
Once spotted by journalists they were surrounded by dozens of cameras, but #SDF soon brought them away for much-needed food, water - and quiet.
