ERBIL - The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Friday handed over two freed Yezidi sisters to a rescue office in northeastern Syria.

The two had been freed in the operations to liberate the last enclave of the Islamic State (IS) in eastern parts of Syria in March.

They had been based in al-Hol camp, according to reports.

The two sisters were identified as Haifa Sa'du Rasho and Layla Sa'du Rasho who are expected to reunite with their family in the Kurdistan Region in the upcoming days.

They had been abducted by the extremist group in 2014 from a village in Sinjar.
