[Technical difficulty--Editor]....They took us to one province in Germany, Baden-Wurttemburg, as 1,000 survivors. Now we have a better life. We live safely. We have medical care. There are more than 250 families, and we were expecting and hoping that Canada would bring more Yazidis into Canada.
There are a lot of survivors and families that I communicate with personally. They have had only one or two interviews with Canada and are still waiting to be taken. They have no information about when they will travel to Canada, because it has taken between two and four months for the interviews. They have had all the medical checkups and are waiting to depart. Hundreds of families who have done those interviews and concluded them are still communicating and asking us the same questions: When will be our turn? When are we supposed to come? We're hoping the Government of Canada will not take a longer time to bring those people in.
People are so tired. People are exhausted. In those camps there are thousands of survivors who miss their loved ones and families, and they are waiting for the chance to start a new life.
Sinjar is still suffering. Right now none of those mass graves of Yazidis has been opened or talked about.
