A Yazidi girl taken as a sex slave by Isis was raped by at least 10 men and could die if she delivers the baby, according to an aid worker. She was taken to a refugee camp in Iraq after she and more than 200 Yazidi women, children and the elderly were freed near Kirkuk, northern Iraq after being held captive for more than eight months.
