IS severing children's limbs in Syrian stronghold of Raqqa



This is really horrific what people are going through under ISIS. Children loosing their limb and the fear of terror, will they ever be able to overcome this in a lifetime these people are scared for life.

Families who have escaped from the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa have told Sky News they witnessed militants carry out countless public amputations, some of them against children.

One mother spoke of her anguish at being pressured into "selling" her 14-year-old daughter in marriage to an Egyptian IS fighter who was 29.
There are growing signs of tension among the fundamentalists in the city - and an increase in people attempting to flee.
There are reports too that IS fighters are building tunnels in expectation of a tremendous battle to try to retake the Syrian city.
We spoke to two families just over the Syrian border in Turkey, who both chose to remain anonymous because of a lingering fear of being tracked down by IS - or revenge being taken on their remaining family members inside Raqqa.
The mother of the teenager who was to be sold to the IS militant was alone, bringing up her four sons and daughter after her husband was killed in an airstrike.
