More than 2000 Iraqis a day are fleeing Mosul. The UN says this is several hundred more each day than before US-led coalition forces began a new phase of their battle to retake the city from ISIL. After quick initial advances, the operation stalled for several weeks. However, last Thursday, Iraqi forces renewed their push from Mosul’s east towards the Tigris River on three fronts. The security forces have taken about a quarter of Mosul since October. Most residents, however, have stayed put despite severe shortages of food and water.
