Al-Jazeera TV cited medical sources reporting in the city of Fallujah 9 Iraqi civilians, among them 6 members of one family, have been killed due to indiscriminate bombing by Maliki’s military forces, and dozens of people – including many women – have been injured in these attacks. These bombings have continued for the fourth consecutive day on homes, hospitals, mosques, tombs and government offices.
Yesterday the UNHCR expressed its concerns regarding the status of Fallujah and Ramadi residents, warning of the shortage of food and medicine in these cities.
According to reports aired by local Iraqi TV stations, in the Biji region north of Baghdad a large demonstration was staged against government forces’ attacks against Fallujah. Demonstrators chanted slogans against Maliki’s government saying, “Hey Maliki, this is a revolution.”
