The administration also pointed out that the only safe port that the security forces had opened for the families in the city has been booby-trapped by ISIS.

Sayer added, “The number of families entrapped in Fallujah is about 5,000 families, mostly children and women who live difficult humanitarian situations without food or medicines,” pointing out that, “ISIS arrested hundreds on charges of cooperation with the security forces.”

“We call the international coalition to intensify its air strikes on ISIS members in Fallujah,” Sayer continued.
