Iraqi
coalition soldiers recently helped clear a town outside Mosul of
Islamic State militants ahead of the battle to retake Iraq’s “second
city” from the jihadists, which is expected to drive hundreds of
thousands civilians to camps for displaced people in northern Iraq. “We
are expecting a huge number of refugees coming to our area in the coming
months, as there is a lot of official talk about Mosul being liberated
before the end of this year,” the director of an indigenous ministry in
northern Iraq said. Besides funds for food, clothing, blankets, tents
and medicines for the next three months, the ministry needs help to
purchase 30,000 New Testaments at $2 each, 10,000 children’s Bibles at
$5 each and 40,000 Bibles in Arabic and Kurdish. “Humanitarian aid will
help us extend the hand of mercy to the people who need it with the
message of healing and salvation for people with a lot of stories and
tragedies that will result from this war,” he said.
