The United Nations humanitarian office (OCHA) said over 83,000 people have fled the besieged city of Fallujah and surrounding areas and feared thousands more could still be on the move amid ongoing fighting.
OCHA said since a government offensive began late last month, people have been fleeing Fallujah in rapidly increasing numbers. OCHA said the recent influx was a result of thousands being allowed to leave in the past few days and families demonstrating the willingness to take extremely high risks to escape.
OCHA said reports were emerging of people drowning, or being injured or killed by snipers or improvised explosive devices as they tried to escape. The Office said many families were being separated especially with men and teenage boys being separated from their families for security screening. OCHA warned many families still trapped inside Fallujah were thought to have only limited, if any, food and water supplies and the risk for disease outbreaks was very high.
