Kurdish Forces Gain New Front In Fight For IS Iraqi Capital Mosul

Kurdish being backed by air strikers from the US- led coalition, evaded the Western side of Gwer Bridge- Kanhash; an area which was completely destroyed two years ago by the IS when they swept through the Northern and Western Iraq.

IS is also being attacked by the Iraq Army through the South; therefore the repair of the Gwer Bridge would leave IS defeated Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and other Anti- IS forces.  A this battle to conquer IS in Mosul continue, ICRC fears the possibility of over a million Iraqis fleeing Mosul, hence a "massive humanitarian problem"
