Haider Al-Abadi, the Iraqi Prime Minister has been condemned for keeping citizens in the city

With an army of more than 5,000 militants, ISIS is thriving in underground tunnels where they can deploy surprise suicide car bombs against advancing Iraqi forces.

Jassim al-Attiyah, Iraq’s deputy minister for migration and displacement, said he expects the situation to worsen because displaced civilians are getting in the way of the battle for Mosul.

He added: “The situation will worsen for many months. Security forces have retaken neighbourhoods on the eastern side of the Tigris River that carves the city in half, but they have not yet entered areas on the other side.”

With more than 150,000 displaced civilians across the city, the Iraqi soldiers are finding it difficult to attack ISIS because the innocent residents could get caught up in the explosions.
