| Humanitarian Disaster in Fallujah |
| 2016-06-20 |
| [Iraq Sun] Exhausted, hungry and desperate, 30,000 people have poured out of Fallujah in the past three days as Iraqi forces stormed into the center of the city, pushing Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... fighters into the northwest of the city. Despite the searing Iraqi summer heat, many of those who have escaped are sleeping out in the open as refugee camps are now full. Others have managed to find refuge in warehouses or mosques. The number of people who have managed to leave the city has topped 60,000. The Norwegian Refugee Council, which is providing emergency food rations and bottled water to thousands of people, said the sheer numbers and a lack of camp coordination has made it difficult to reach all the newly arrived families. "We implore the Iraqi government to take charge of this humanitarian disaster unfolding on our watch," said NRC Country Director Nasr Muflahi in a statement. "We cannot continue to provide aid when we do not even know who is where and what they need," Muflahi said. Prime Minister Haider al Abadi declared the Iraqi forces had been victorious in their fight to take control of the city. But in Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperityor a really nice place to raise your kids... Iraqi fighters face snipers and bombs as they fight to eliminate IS forces of Evil from the city they have held for more than two years. Some forces of Evil reportedly have sent their wives and children out of the city with the refugees. |

| #6 Whaaaa... Fallujah is such a cesspit and has a long history of fucking over everyone it can. Best thing to do is to level the fucking city and sow it with radiation so it can never be rebuilt. |

| #3 WE were also careful with the people, and took care of "refugees" from the city. I can't imagine the people of Fallujah didn't expect the same thing again, only to find out that the Iraqi Government doesn't listen to the media. Must be a shock that they have to pay for allowing scum to use their city freely. |

| #2 When we had our siege of Fallujah we attempted to be very careful with the mosques. I wonder if the Shia razed them all? |

| #1 Fallujah is not a city, but rather the center of a plague on humanity. |
