Thousands of children and their families in the Iraqi city of Mosul are in dire need of water, according to the UN Children Fund’s (UNICEF).

It follows the destruction of a major water pipeline in territory controlled by the ISIL terrorist group.

Without access to clean water, children are more susceptible to suffer from water-borne diseases such as diarrhoea.

Mustafa Al Gamal spoke to Maulid Warfa, head of UNICEF’s Office in Irbil, Iraq, and began by asking him about the current situation in Mosul.
