The United Nations warns that an offensive on the Iraqi city of Mosul
may force around 100,000 people to flee to neighbouring Syria and
Turkey.
The self-proclaimed Islamic State took control of Mosul in June 2014
and now government forces along with Kurdish troops have launched a
major offensive to win it back.
William Denselow reports from UN headquarters in New York.
