Since the assault on the ISIS-held city of Mosul began in October
2016, over 300,000 civilians have fled the city. After two years
living under the militants' brutal rule, most now find themselves in
a series of IDP camps, without jobs and dependent on charities
and the government for food and water. With the battle still
raging, they do not know how long it will be until they can go
home.
