Baghdad, (IINA) - The UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) said on Thursday that at least 11,118 Iraqis, mostly civilians, were killed in violence across the country this year, Middle East Monitor reported.
According to UNAMI, Baghdad saw most of the violence, which included explosions and clashes, while ISIS claimed responsibility for most of the attacks.
Iraqi security forces, backed by the US-led international coalition and Al-Hashd Al-Shaabi as well as Kurdish Peshmerga forces, have been fighting ISIS for more than a year in northern and western Iraq.
Meanwhile, Maitham Al-Ghazzi, a member of the Iraqi parliament’s High Commissioner for Human Rights, said the situation calls for more enhanced international cooperation to combat terrorism.
