Geneva: The Office of the United Nations Human Rights said Thursday it has reports of a “significant escalation” of Iraqi civilians being killed by Daesh as they try to flee Mosul.
The UN human rights office said it also has reports of 50-80 deaths in an airstrike on the Zanjili district in western Mosul on May 31, Reuters reported.
“Credible reports indicate that more than 231 civilians attempting to flee western Mosul have been killed since 26 May, including at least 204 over three days last week alone,” the Geneva-based office said in a statement.
