There are about 1,500 people trapped in the Filipino
town of Marawi which has been besieged by Isis
linked terrorists. Almost 100 people have escaped on
foot while others escape by swimming across the
river. Some Muslim women, in order to help
Christians escape the terrorists, have given them their hijabs to use in disguising themselves. Those who made it out of the besieged town alive
are attended to by Medics and one of them has
recounted the experience as told by the lucky
escapees. “Some of the stories that stuck were Muslims
helping protect Christian workers by letting them
borrow a hijab,” said Dr Gioia Ancheta, head of the
psychosocial therapy team. It was revealed that civilians trapped in the town,
which is about 60 miles south of Cagayan de Oro, are
being held as human shields and are also under
attack from bombing assaults by the military who
are trying to oust the jihadists. The civilians also face
starvation. There are reports that some local residents are so hungry they had “started to eat
their blankets”, according to local politician Zia
Alonto Adiong, who is managing the relief and
rescue efforts. “Some residents are eating (cardboard) boxes.
They just dip it in water to soften the material and eat
it,” he said. Islamic militants stormed Marawi three weeks ago,
leaving 290 people dead, including 205 Isis fighters,
58 soldiers and 26 civilians.
