Adel, 15, hasn't seen his parents for the past nine months, but that was the price to pay to escape the brutal rule of Islamic State group jihadists in his northern Iraqi hometown. According to the UN's children agency, UNICEF, more than 1,000 children under the age of 18 have been separated from their parents.
