CNN: 20K Children Trapped in Fallujah; Face Risk of Forced Recruitment by ISIS

‘U.N. estimated 20,000 children, some of whom are being pressed into fighting on behalf of ISIS as well since they’ve already taken a lot of casualties and fatalities’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 

WEDEMAN: "The United Nations believes many of them have been moved to the center of the city and are essentially being used as human shields. Among the 50,000, the U.N. estimated 20,000 children, some of whom are being pressed into fighting on behalf of ISIS as well since they’ve already taken a lot of casualties and fatalities. So a very complicated situation, this battle could well be going on for weeks and weeks ahead."
