“Our colleagues on the ground tell us that displacement from Iraq’s west Mosul continues to surge, with some 17,000 people having fled the area over the weekend.
More than 280,000 people have now been uprooted from west Mosul since the military operation began in that area in late February, with a total of 352,000 people having been displaced in total as a result of the fighting in both east and west Mosul.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General:
“According to a joint food security report issued by the World Food Programme and the Iraqi Government today, more than half of Iraqi families are at risk of food insecurity and can no longer absorb any further shocks, such as conflict or increases in basic food prices. The report, conducted prior to the recent Mosul offensive, is one of the most robust technical food security studies ever conducted in Iraq, and warns of unprecedented levels of vulnerability.”

Speaking to reporters in New York on Monday (10 Apr) spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General Stephane Dujarric said “our colleagues on the ground tell us that displacement from Iraq’s west Mosul continues to surge, with some 17,000 people having fled the area over the weekend.”
More than 280,000 people have so far fled western Mosul since the military operation to remove ISIS fighters from Iraq’s city began in February this year, which according to Dujarric added to “a total of 352,000 people having been displaced in total as a result of the fighting in both east and west Mosul.”
The World Food Programme and the Iraqi Government issued today a joint food security report, according to which, more than half of Iraqi families are at risk of food insecurity and can no longer absorb any further shocks, such as conflict or increases in basic food prices.
The UN spokesperson said the survey which was conducted prior to the recent Mosul offensive, "is one of the most robust technical food security studies ever conducted in Iraq, and warns of unprecedented levels of vulnerability.”
