UN warns of ‘humanitarian tragedy’ following fall of Sinjar
MESOP : OBAMA REGRETS / UN WARNS – MEANS: NOTHING !
The UN has urged the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Iraq central government to cooperate fully to deal with the latest humanitarian crisis, after the Islamic State (also known as ISIS) captured the town of Sinjar, west of Ninawa. “A humanitarian tragedy is unfolding in Sinjar,” the Special Representative of the UN Secretary General in Iraq, Nickolay Mladenov, said in a statement. “The capture of the town has displaced about 200,000 Yazidis … The United Nations has grave concerns for the physical safety of these civilians”. The UN noted that civilians who fled into the Jabal Sinjar mountains could be trapped inside an area surrounded by the jihadists.
