High Commissioner for Human Rights called for urgent action to aid the victims and survivors amid reports of murder, torture, chemical attacks, the large-scale use of Òhuman shieldsÓ and the sexual exploitation of women and girls. In some cases, victims have reportedly been killed simply for possessing SIM cards or mobile phones.

Oil fields in northern Iraq have been burning nonstop for more than six months. Islamic State militants had set fire to at least 19 oil wells in the Qayarrah district, south of Mosul, as they were forced to retreat by Iraqi forces. Burning oil wells continue to spew out toxic fumes that burn peopleÕs throats and turn their communities into a smoke-filled hell. Aid workers said doctors had reported a shortage of medicine as they treat many patients for bronchitis. Relief organisations are providing clean drinking water to residents in the Qayarrah district. The situation around Mosul has become more desperate with a key water pipe destroyed during fighting, UNICEF said. An offensive to drive Islamic State militants out of their last major city stronghold in Iraq was launched last month and more than 70,000 civilians have fled the city.
