Intensive fighting continues to drive steady displacement from inside the city towards the east. People are also moving southwards from other communities on the front lines. The authorities are providing transport for families to four key emergency sites. At present, more than 20,000 people are being supported at existing camps. The remainder has found shelter in host communities and public facilities.”

A United Nations (UN) Spokesperson said “a further 13,000 people have been displaced in Iraq since 4 November in the military operations around Mosul, bringing the total number of currently displaced people to 35,000.”
Stéphane Dujarric told journalists TODAY (8 Nov) in New York that “intensive fighting” continues to drive people out of the city. At present, he said “more than 20,000 people are being supported at existing camps. The remainder has found shelter in host communities and public facilities.”
Dujarric said the World Health Organization (WHO) “has delivered medical supplies for more than 90,000 beneficiaries at the hospital in Erbil.
Erbil hospital is the main referral hospital in the area, about an hour away from Mosul, where injured people are being brought from treatment.
A total of 11 mobile health clinics, the spokesperson said “are currently operational in the Governorate of Nineveh, and in total, WHO has provided 41 mobile medical clinics and 19 ambulances to date.”
The United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) estimates that 9,700 children are in urgent need of assistance. Upon arrival to IDP camps, families receive clean drinking water and snacks that include a nutritional supplement for children.
Children six months to 15 years old are immediately immunized against polio and measles – many of them for the first time in two years – by a UNICEF-supported local government team.
UNICEF is delivering water and hygiene supplies to newly displaced families, is establishing water and sanitation systems in new camps, and is establishing safe spaces for play and for education in new camps. Together with the Ministry of Health, UNICEF has teams on standby to vaccinate children against polio and measles.
On 24 October, five days after the village of Ibrahim Al-Khalil was retaken, UNICEF, IOM, WFP and UNFPA provided emergency aid supplies to more than 800 displaced families who had taken shelter in the village. UNICEF provided water and hygiene supplies to about 4,800 people and vaccinated 400 children against measles and polio. The village is located six kilometres from the frontline in Ninewa Governorate.
More than half a million children could be left in the crossfire in the operation to retake Mosul, according to UNICEF.
