Fleeing Iraq joins world’s largest displaced population
Hassan Abbas and his mother left their town near Tata Khormato in northern Iraq joining the UN’s note of over 51 million people displaced worldwide at year end. The Iraqi exodus follows ISIL advances from Mosul and Basheer shelling, with 300000 more believed to have fled locally in Kurdistan. The UN refugee agency cites Syria’s 160000 dead and 9 million displaced as a major factor behind this global surge.
