As fighting worsens in Mosul, aid groups struggle to help those who choose to stay | PBS NewsHour
As fighting in west Mosul worsens, aid agencies are unable to reach
an estimated 750,000 men, women and children who remain inside that
portion of the city.
Su’ad
Jarbawi, Mercy Corps' Iraq country director, tell us “we’re not able to
get into western Mosul, but we can only predict that the situation there
remains dire. Food is becoming scarce, and prices are inflated to an
