IRAQI FAMILIES FLEE VIOLENCE FROM FIGHT FOR FALLUJAH
The battle for Fallujah is shaping up to be unlike any of the other
assaults in the Iraqi military's town-by-town war with the Islamic State
group.
In the nearly two weeks since the operation began, airstrikes have been
used sparingly, Shiite militias have so far been kept to the perimeter, and
the initial advance on the symbolically important town has been slow.

22. But the Norwegian Refugee Council, an international
humanitarian group that does extensive work in Iraq's
Anbar province, says none of the civilians trapped in the
center of the city have made it out.

An Iraqi man walks near smoke billowing from oil wells set ablaze by ISIS militants fleeing the
oil-producing region of Qayyarah on Aug. 30, after Iraqi forces pushed the jihadists out of the
northern town on the banks of the Tigris river. Iraqi forces retook key areas in the city on
Aug. 25 and pushed ISIS from Qayyarah, a northern town considered strategic for any future
offensive against the jihadists' last stronghold of Mosul.

Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga fighters hold a position on the top of Mount Zardak, about 25
kilometres east of Mosul. Mosul, Iraq's second city, was seized by the ISIS group in 2014 after
multiple Iraqi divisions collapsed in the face of a jihadist assault. But Baghdad is now
planning, with help from a US-led coalition, a major operation to retake the city, which had a
population of two million before the IS invasion.
