Kurdish Red Crescent released images of people suffering from a flesh eating bug claiming that ISIS militants are responsible for spreading this bug.

Human rights workers have said that more than 500 cases of Leishmaniasis disease have been reported in Syria over the past 12 months, as Daily Mail mentions.

‘As a result of abominable acts by ISIS that included the killing of innocent people and dumping their corpses in streets, this is the leading factor behind the rapid spread of Leishmaniasis disease.’ Dilqash Isa of the Kurdish Red Crescent said.

The first case was reported in September 2013, while the disease is caused by parasites carried by flies.

A Syrian Kurdish fighter claimed: ‘We did not have knowledge about this deadly disease before. We have been fighting on the battlefield for almost four years and this disease basically generated from embattled areas of Tal Hamis, Hon and Qosa.’
