Those poor girls. Did absolutely nothing wrong, now they're not even able to get comfort from their families and friends. Their lives destroyed for years to come. And I fear some may end up pregnant, to add to their trauma.

Yes, the girls are displaced, and the families are probably impoverished by it too. It's a tragic situation.
