Two sisters who were moved to a Derry residential care institution run by the Sisters of Nazareth have given graphic evidence of their fear and isolation.
The first said they were “brutalised” and “not protected”.
Her sister told the inquiry of an incident when she was forced to eat her own vomit as staff at the home did not believe she was ill.
The two told the inquiry examining alleged abuse in care homes across Northern Ireland of their fear and isolation while at Nazareth House in the city’s Bishop Street in 1960s.
The sisters, who cannot be identified, testified separately.
One spoke of the fear they felt when they were taken from their home and left at Nazareth House.
