Iraqi Civilians Continue to Flee Fighting in Mosul

HeadlineJun 26, 2017

In Iraq, U.S.-backed Iraqi forces continue the battle to seize control of the city of Mosul from ISIS. Residents say at least five members of the same family were killed on Sunday in a U.S.-led coalition airstrike. Thousands continued to flee Mosul over the weekend. This is Fatima Mohammed.

Fatima Mohammed: “The house was bombed and collapsed as she was inside. We were neighbors. She came out running and yelling, and she said that her mom was buried under the rubble. I took her and washed her face, and I went out carrying a white banner, but no one came to my help. We were exhausted, hungry and thirsty.”
