Aid Groups Warn of Humanitarian Crisis as Iraqi Troops Claim Fallujah
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Aid groups have warned of a humanitarian crisis as tens of thousands of
Iraqis flee the city of Fallujah. Iraqi forces said Friday they had
reclaimed large swaths of the city from ISIL after a weeks-long
offensive. The Norwegian Refugee Council warned about 30,000 people have
fled to nearby camps since Friday alone, with another 32,000 displaced
since the fighting began last month. The International Organization for
Migration has put the total displaced in the four-week battle at more
than 80,000.
