IS severing children's limbs in Syrian stronghold of Raqqa

[SQUID-EYE]

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.

Her mother interrupts her to say: "She is a baby. How can they let her carry a weapon?

"They said this hand has stolen and he had to be punished and they cut his hand off. We know him, he was our neighbour and he was an orphan."

The people have changed. Their hearts are like stones. The city has changed. The houses were on the ground … destroyed."

Of course not. Nobody in their right mind should even think about it.
