In Iraq, U.S.-backed Iraqi and Kurdish forces pressed deeper into ISIS-held western Mosul over the weekend, leaving terrified residents to risk their lives fleeing to camps for the displaced. One civilian, Saad Mohamed, said families had to run through sniper fire as they tried to escape the violence.

Saad Mohamed: “About 14 or 15 fleeing from al-Mansour district, while the snipers were firing on them in the valley. They do not care about women, children or anything. The people were running in zigzags trying to avoid the sniper fire.”

Outside Mosul, a Shia paramilitary group said it had unearthed a mass grave for hundreds of prisoners who were slaughtered in June of 2014, when ISIS took control of the region. Human Rights Watch reports as many as 600 people were killed in the Badush prison massacre.
