Five residents slain and dozens wounded
Camp Liberty came under missile and mortar attack at 5:45 AM local time. As of now, five residents including a woman have been slain and more than 50 were wounded. Some of the wounded are in serious condition and the number of slain might increase. There no assistance and ambulance to move the wounded. The power generator of the Iraqi clinic at Liberty was hit and as a result the clinic lacks electricity and has become useless.
It is more than one year that 3100 residents of Ashraf were forcibly moved by the Iraqi Government to this camp that is only half a square kilometers and is less than 80 times smaller than Ashraf. There is no shelter and protection at this camp and the residents are in trailers that are crammed next to each other.
The residents, their representatives and lawyers yesterday and the day before warned about another massacre by the Iranian regime and Iraqi forces and similar to several times in the past urged the UN secretary General and the US authorities for return to Ashraf that has buildings made from cement and contains protection shelters .
Further reports would be provided as they would become available.
