An estimated 40,000 Iraqis are stranded on a mountainside in northern Iraq without food, water or sanitation, having been forced out of their homes by IS militants.
France yesterday announced that it will offer asylum to those forced to flee Iraq as the Islamic State (IS) continues to tighten its grip across the country.
The claim that the militant Islamist group demanded that all women in Mosul undergo FGM proved to be untrue, but what about the other reports of violence in the caliphate?
