BBC OS

Available for over a year

New York Times journalist Rukmini Callimachi has been on the front line and describes the civilian experience. Notably, just what are children learning when educated by so-called Islamic State? At least 30,700 people have fled West Mosul since the start of the military operations to retake that part of the city - mostly in the last week.
