The UN Security Council on Wednesday condemned the use of human shields in Iraq, saying all sides must avoid harming civilians in the battle to drive Islamic State (IS) group jihadists from Mosul.
The council met behind closed doors to hear reports from UN human rights and humanitarian aid officials on the situation in the country's second city as Iraqi forces reached its eastern outskirts.
It was the first time the council discussed the Iraqi military operation in Mosul since it began just over two weeks ago.
