UN says 50,000 civilians in Fallujah at risk
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says there is "a great risk" to about 50,000 civilians the UN estimates are still in Fallujah, especially for those trying to flee the Iraqi government offensive to retake the city from the Islamic State extremist group.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Monday "it's important that they have some safe corridors that they could use."
He called the situation in and around Fallujah "very fluid."
