Two years after a long-awaited offensive to seize back Mosul from Islamic State in Iraq and Syria ISIS control began on October 17th, 2016, there are still places under the control of ISIS. Sporadic and asymmetric attacks still persist by the ISIS members and continue to risk the lives of civilians caught by the outbreak of fights. Humanitarian partners rushed to respond to the catastrophic situation and scaled up activities over the last two months after the liberation process to prepare and respond to unexpected increased humanitarian situation once the battle intensifies.

Regardless of the risk of terrorist attacks, the presence of explosive hazards remain real threat for the returnees and vulnerable communities and will continue to pose challenges for them. The complexity and diversity of IEDs in and around Mosul require great effort and specialized mine clearance operators to overcome this big issue and early estimates indicate that it will take over a decade to fully clear Mosul alone.

As per United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs-UNOCHA source, 837,552 people received protection assistance since October 2016 including 129,355 reached by protection monitoring teams. Mine action partners continue to assess, clear and deliver mine-risk education in all accessible areas of Mosul. Mine action-related activities reached 90,606 people with limited presence of accredited humanitarian mine action partners for the broader of Ninewa province.

This situation report entails very crucial and exhaustive data on security incidents and explosive hazards since the inception of the offensive in October 2016 and month to month data coverage necessary for the Humanitarian Actors to plan/prioritize their prompt humanitarian response to the war-torn areas and affected communities.

Armed Clash Areas in Mosul Response Areas (1 - 31 Aug 2017)




1.3 Armed Clash Areas

As the battle for Mosul unfolded by July 2017, a total of over a million people from Mosul had been displaced by the military operations. ISIS control over Mosul brought nothing only immense destruction to the conflict-affected infrastructure of the city and civilians' lives. The majority of inflicted infrastructures are hospitals, schools, working places, governmental buildings and religious and historical sites. Repairing the infrastructure after a US-backed Iraqi offensive will cost more than $1 billion as per a UN source. Almost all parts of the city have incurred damage to the infrastructure in the military offensive, with some districts completely destroyed and requiring years to rebuild.

The greatest humanitarian issues for people inside and around Mosul still included acute food insecurity, destruction of water supplies, living amid ongoing fighting, security barriers to the provision of humanitarian aids, and acute shortage of urgent health care.

29 June 2017 - The DTM has been closely collaborating with local authorities to support the establishment of a joint information collection system that collects consistent data on IDPs who displaced within the city of Mosul as a consequence of the military operations. In particular, in the last months, DTM seconded staff to local authorities to conduct joint field visits and collect direct information –at the neighborhood level– on IDPs who fled west Mosul and are now in east Mosul.
