Militia leader: Politicians must come help Fallujah refugees

Iraqi army and Shiite militia have captured more villages in Saqlawia, northwest of Fallujah.

They are still to enter the city. They say they’re 2km away.

The forces have congregated the city’s north and south gates.

Militia leaders say they expect street fights once in the city.

Hundreds of civilians have been displaced by the Fallujah offensive.

Many families are trapped inside the city and unable to leave.

It has been 8 days since the Fallujah offensive started and two years since ISIS tookover.

Iraqi army and Shiite militia claim to have retaken 8,000 square km so far.

Some military officials expect a hard battle for Fallujah city center where ISIS has bigger weapons and more militants.
