A woman presumably from Fallujah, Iraq, has made an emotional appeal in a Facebook video that can't be independently verified.
She says her city is starving and called on the world to save them from jihadists or just bomb the town with chemical weapons.The video appeared on Facebook on Thursday. Though the description under the footage says the video was shot in Fallujah, it isn't possible to independently verify the location and the date the video was recorded.
In the footage the woman claims that she and her family are starving. She is seen pointing to a tiny casserole dish, apparently containing what's left of the food for her family.
"We are dying of hunger. The Arab states, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, think of us, think of the people of Fallujah," she says, as translated by the Jerusalem Post.
She says that the four entrances to Fallujah "are blocked" and that the local residents have no "access to food, drinks or medicine.""I invite you to come to Fallujah, go to the hospital and see the distress the people have been living in," she said, apparently addressing the international community.
Comment: This is madness.
