TOPSHOT - Iraqi women and children are pictured in Mosul's al-Sahiroun neighbourhood on January 12, 2017, as they flee their homes during a military operation by Iraqi security forces against IS militants. Iraqi government forces launched a major offensive to recapture Mosul from the Islamic State group on October 17, 2016. Since then, they have retaken many areas in the eastern parts of Iraq's second city, but districts to the west of the Tigris River are still firmly in IS hands. / AFP / Dimitar DILKOFF (Photo credit should read DIMITAR DILKOFF/AFP via Getty Images)
