ISIS terrorists have reportedly captured as many as 3,000 Iraqi civilians attempting to flee besieged villages, the United Nations refugee agency UNHCR said in a daily briefing on the country.
"UNHCR has received reports that ISIL captured on 4 August up to 3,000 IDPs (internally displaced people) from villages in Hawiga District in Kirkuk Governorate trying to flee to Kirkuk city. Reportedly, 12 of the IDPs have been killed in captivity," the UNHCR report said, using an alternate acronym for the terror group.
More than 3.3 million Iraqis have been forced from their homes by conflict since the start of 2014.
Iraq's second city Mosul has been under Islamic State group control since June 2014, when the jihadists overran large parts of Iraq, carrying out atrocities including summary execution-style killings, mass kidnappings and rape.
