Mosul: Isis threatens to kill 350,000 children trapped in city if they try to leave
'There’s a huge risk for families - if Isis see a family trying to escape, they kill them on the spot'
Iraqi security forces continue fierce clashes to drive out the Isis militants from their last strongholds in the northern outskirts of the city of Mosul PA
An estimated 350,000 children are currently trapped in siege-like conditions and risk execution under Isis in the next stage of conflict, aid agencies have warned.
Half of the 750,000 trapped civilians in west Mosul are children who risk being killed by the terror-group if they try to flee, Save the Children reported.
Those who remain are at extreme risk from the devastating impact of artillery and other explosive weapons if they are deployed in the narrow and more densely-packed streets of the western districts.
