U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said that many Iraqi Christian families who fled Mosul last month after violence acts against them have returned home.
Some 2,275 families, i.e. the half of this town’s Christian citizens, fled Mosul for northern and eastern Christian villages after a campaign of threats and attacks against the Christian community that led to the death of 12 persons in two weeks.
U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) officials visited villages in Al Hamdaniya, a district east of Mosul, on Monday and found that about 300 families returned home.
“Displaced families began to return about a week ago, with assurances from their Arab neighbors about improved security in the city, which has seen a beefed-up presence by Iraqi security forces,” UNHCR spokesman Ron Redmond said. Source: www.alsumaria.tv
