Ok, I get that #ISIS lobby groups only care about #Alhol…but it is the only “snow” tweet from #ICRC MENA director. I would expect Red Cross MENA director to be more interested in conditions of #ISIS victims and locals in Middle East in general instead of foreign #ISIS members.

8 years in tents thanks to #ISIS and western media is still busy being sorry for #ISIS foreign members who are in a much better camp #Alhol for 3 years.And I am still waiting for #ISIS western lobby groups to at least mention conditions in camps for #ISIS victims in #Iraq #Syria
