This episode of UN in action shows how the UN tries to recover the city of Mosul (Northen Irak) from devastation and explosive contamination, after the occupation of ISIS between 2014 and 2017.
Mosul: The Road to Recovery
Three years of occupation by ISIL and a protracted military intervention to retake the area have left the once-thriving Old City of Mosul in northern Iraq devastated by conflict and explosive contamination. The Old City was deserted, covered in millions of tons of rubble strewn with thousands of explosive devices deliberately left behind by ISIL.
Of the 5.8 million Iraqis displaced between 2014 and 2017, nearly 4 million have returned to their homes, while others wait for their neighbourhoods, schools and markets to be cleared of deadly explosive devices. Join us as we follow United Nations explosive disposal experts who venture deep into the Old City, putting themselves at risk so others may return safely.
Over 24 million square metres have since been cleared, allowing stabilization activities to begin, and enabling families to return home and resume their lives.
