Close to 1,500 Iraqis were killed last month in terrorist attacks, with over half a million fleeing the region
As many as 13 people have been killed in two explosions in Iraq’s capital Baghdad yesterday, a police source said.
Thirteen people were killed and 45 others injured when two car bombs exploded in Bayaa area in south Baghdad, according to witnesses.
The massive blast also destroyed several nearby buildings and vehicles. Iraq has been witnessing some of its worst violence in recent years.
The UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) on Monday said at least 1,420 Iraqis have been killed and 1,370 injured in terrorist attacks and violence across the country last month.
In August alone, the UN estimates that 600,000 people have been displaced while thousands continue to be targeted and killed by the Islamic State militants and associated armed groups simply on account of their ethnic or religious background.
