Bravery, determination, and luck are necessary to flee ISIS control in Hawija. Anyone caught trying to escape is beaten and imprisoned by the militant group. One man was caught by ISIS three times and beaten so badly he could not walk for days. A recent group of 402 civilians fled Hawija, but another 300 were caught by the group. More than 30,000 people from Hawija have fled to Kirkuk in the last three months.
