What鈥檚 it like to have family trapped under IS control?
More than a million civilians are trapped in the city of Mosul, as Iraqi Special Forces continue their fight to free it from so-called Islamic State. They are going from house to house in the east of the city to try to clear out IS fighters, and make the area safe for people living there.
Dr Ahmed Sabaawi has a big family in Mosul, and told 5 live Drive that 鈥渘obody knows what will happen鈥� and that 鈥減eople inside the city don鈥檛 know what to do.鈥�
鈥淭oo many civilians have been killed because they didn鈥檛 follow whatever ISIS tells them to do.鈥�
鈥淭here is extreme risk for people.鈥�
