Iraqi forces continue to advance on the western side of the city of Mosul, after many neighborhoods have recovered from Da'ash's control in an operation launched on Feb. 19 to restore their last stronghold on the western side of Iraq's second city.

According to AFP, the Iraqi forces deployed dozens of snipers on the roofs of buildings to support the progress towards the Mosque of Nuri, which has a symbolic dimension in the Dahesh.

The restoration of control of the Old City was a major blow to extremists because of the Nuri Mosque, which saw the only public appearance of a leader calling for Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in July 2014, days after the so-called "Caliphate" state in the areas of control of the organization in Iraq and Syria.

"Dozens of snipers are occupying the roofs of buildings in the old city to strengthen the front rims of our units positioned on the outskirts of the Nouri Mosque," a statement by Major General Raid Shaker Jawdat, commander of the federal police force, was quoted as saying.

"Our forces are evacuating hundreds of displaced civilians to isolate the elements of the terrorist organization and strip them of human shields before breaking into the area and regain control of the mosque," he said.

The old city, which lies in the heart of the Tigris River, which divides Mosul, has close buildings and narrow streets that do not allow most of the military vehicles used by the security forces, making the battles more dangerous and difficult.

The joint operations command announced the restoration of control of Al-Resala neighborhood and Nablus apartments.

The Iraqi Observatory for Human Rights on Tuesday revealed that the number of displaced persons from Ninewa province since the start of military operations to liberate them on October 17, 2016, rose to 415 thousand displaced five months after the start of fighting.

"The concern is about the lives of displaced people living in or outside the camps," the observatory said in a statement read by Mawazine News. "It is necessary to pay attention to the safety of half a million others who are still in areas controlled by the Da'ash organization in parts of the right Mosul coast "He said.

He added that "as of 20 March, more than 415,000 displaced people had arrived in the camps. They were distributed to camps 1, 2, 3, 4, Al-Narkzliya, Hammam Al-'Alil, Hassan Sham and Qayara - the airport runway, in addition to some of their relatives in the liberated coastal areas."

"There is nothing to help them stay while they are in Hammam al-'Alil camp, so they decided to go to the left coast, which in turn suffers from a lack of some services," the observatory quoted displaced people from the right coast as heading towards the left coast of their relatives.

The seven displaced persons interviewed by the Observatory said that "their house in Al-Resala district was completely destroyed by the aerial bombardment and they are unable to live in the tents because of the large number that the tent did not seek." "We decided to go to our relatives, Better than the camps ".

"They saw death when they fled the conflict zones, and we left everything and saved our lives when the fighting in Ma'amoun was intensifying," the observatory said, quoting three displaced persons near the Nahrzliya camp. Pointing to "the difficulty of living in tents because of lack of supplies of life, but they said it is better than death, which we saw."

The Iraqi Observatory stressed that "the Iraqi executive authorities involved in the management of displaced persons to respond quickly to the families who fled from the areas of the right coast of the city of Mosul, and be ready to receive those who will be displaced soon."

He called on the federal and local governments to "carry out their duties towards the displaced and to increase relief efforts." The UN agencies in Iraq and international and local organizations also called for taking the necessary steps to deliver humanitarian aid to the people of Mosul.

The Observatory urged all authorities to "observe the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement in resolution 1997/39 of the International Commission on Human Rights", calling on the Iraqi government, the United Nations and international and local organizations to "take the necessary steps to help displaced persons from Mosul and other cities.
