Civilians flee Mosul on muddy roads as battle rages on

Civilians continue to flee the battle between Iraqi forces and Isis militants. Many crossed the front line under gunfire and lost all their possessions. UNICEF estimates 191,000 people, including 100,000 children, have been displaced since the beginning of the campaign in Mosul in October. Isis has controlled the western part of Mosul since 2014. Narrow roads hinder the Iraqi military advance and militants hide among civilians. Mar 5, 2017

Millions go hungry in drought-hit Mozambique as threat of new El Nino looms

Two consecutive seasons of poor rainfalls have damaged crops and negatively impacted harvesting, meaning vulnerable communities are facing hunger as they do not have essential foods such as maize and rice.IBTimes UK visited the Cachenge community in the Tete province where people are now able to buy foods - such as maize, rice and beans -through the use of electronic cards. The project, funded by the Department for International Development, is the result of a collaboration between children charity World Vision and MasterCard. Mar 3, 2017
