Decaying bodies pulled out from under the rubble of old Mosul

Civil Defense teams pulled out decomposing bodies from under the rubble in Old Mosul.

A source in the Civil Defense told the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA/ : “The bodies were found when the rubble was being removed in Al-Shaarin market area near the Al-Tahira Church in the old city of Mosul, and they were handed over to the Forensic Medicine Department.”

Many civilians were lost during the period of ISIS control over the city of Mosul in 2014, and in the liberation battles in 2017. From time to time, unidentified bodies of victims who were executed by ISIS terrorists or who fell during the bombing during the liberation operations appear from under the rubble, and their bodies were not found at the time, especially in the old Mosul.
