 Toddler Abducted By ISIS 3 Years Ago. Watch As She’s Reunited With Her Family For The First Time [VIDEO]

In the midst of one of the most terrifying moments of their lives came something even more devastating.

In August 2014, 3-year-old Christina Abada was in Qaraqosh, Iraq, with her family. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Christians had already fled, but Christina and her family had stayed behind because her father, Khader, is blind. They were hoping ISIS would show them mercy.

But that was not to be. Under the false pretense of conducting medical checkups, ISIS militants rounded up the remaining Christians in the city and ordered them to remove all their valuables before loading them into dirt-covered buses.

Christina’s mother, Ayda, held her young daughter on her lap as the jihadists walked up and down, inspecting everyone. Then, just as they were about to leave, one of the militants snatched Christina from Ayda’s arms and took her off the bus.

“[O]ne of the Da’esh [ISIS members] came and inspected the people on the bus,” Ayda recalled as she spoke to humanitarian organization Open Doors International in July 2015. “He walked up to us. He took my little girl from my arms and just walked away.”

For the past three years, Christina’s family has hoped and prayed that Christina was safe and someday they would all be reunited.

Finally, their prayers have been answered.

The young girl was discovered living in Mosul with a Muslim family that had found her all alone in a mosque. She was rescued by Iraqi Special Forces and on Friday was finally reunited with her family, who are living in a refugee camp.

“My family of nine has lived in a caravan for over two years,” Christina’s brother, Yaz Khedher, said. “With all that we have been through, we are overjoyed that our Christina has been returned to us safely. I thank all those who have prayed for her safe return.”

Juliana Taimoorazy of the Iraqi Christian Relief Council said Christina’s rescue and return brings hope to other Iraqi Christians who have been through similar hells.
