IRAQ: Christians flee Mosul as extremists take over city
| |
 |
Up to 1,000 Christian families have fled Iraq's second largest city of
Mosul after it was taken over by militant jihadists. Taking only what they can
carry, Christians have fled to the relatively safe 'Kurdish' region or to the
Christian Nineveh district. Militants took control of Mosul early on 10 June,
prompting a mass exodus of citizens: latest reports from the BBC indicate that
up to 500,000 people have now fled. An Open Doors representative for Iraq said,
"We are facing now another serious migration of
Christians." URGENT! Your gift can help support displaced Christian families in Iraq and Syria. Open Doors |
