Iraqi security keep watch as civilians arrive on July 27, 2016 at a camp for displaced people in the district of Hajaj after fleeing the towns of al-Shirqat and Qayyaya, south of the city of Mosul.
Baghdad - Arab Today

Iraq’s Defense Minister Khalid Al-Obeidi has said that Daesh group leaders and their families have sold their belongings and fled Mosul as Iraqi forces close in on the northern city.
Iraqi forces are conducting operations to set the stage for an assault on Mosul, the country’s second city that has been held by Daesh since June 2014, but the final push to retake it is likely still months away.
“A number of the families... and leaders of (Daesh) in Mosul, they and their families sold their belongings and withdrew toward Syria,” whose border west of the city, Obeidi told Iraqiya state television.
Some also sought to infiltrate toward Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region, located north and east of Mosul, Obeidi said during an interview which was broadcast on Saturday night.
Mosul is the last city held by Daesh in Iraq, but retaking it poses a major challenge, and the operation could unleash a humanitarian crisis unless plans are made for people who would likely flee the fighting.
The Red Cross has said it believes that up to a million Iraqis could be displaced in the coming months by fighting against Daesh, including the operation to recapture Mosul.
Daesh overran large areas north and west of Baghdad in 2014, but has since lost significant ground to Iraqi forces backed by US-led air strikes, training and other assistance.
