No kilometers of rubble thousands of the chapter of mosuls victorious liberation in iraq has closed is now open. Video agency ruptly has filmed the grim reality of the recovery in the once tormented Islamic State hold city a warning it does contain images of very distressing nature. How many bodies have you removed since you started working in this area approximately five hundred are there any more yes in houses and all their odds. Are that and i challenge any member of parliament to live in the conditions were currently living in here i bet they are even afraid of entering this area they have no idea how horrible the smell is or how critical the medical situation is. We havent received any kind of aid since thing is finished here seven months ago on one occasion did they receive a small box of food. No food nothing. Earlier our Senior Correspondent what i guess the air force in the studio he was witness to the battle unfolding in mosul and shared what he saw. Seven months since the battle of mosul ended theyre still digging up peoples bodies and here theres no end in sight i mean these rescuers work every day just this time we we film them and whats more you know we cant obviously show our viewers everything but this footage in particular is very distressing because its always so when it when it comes to children but i was there when these bodies had just begun to rot and i dont the gull ever forget it was the smell it was beyond sickening beyond north you know there were areas entire districts in mosul where you could hardly breathe properly Mother Nature in seven months of job but the smell hasnt gone its still there its just isnt this bad on the surface truly the real heroes are the people doing the digging the people the rescuers that are sifting through all this all this wreckage and pulling out these bodies theres so desensitized you can see theyre not even wearing breathing mosques or even even rags but then again theyre paid pennies to do this hard work because we see jobs are scarce in moves as are Standing Buildings and you just described the traumatic and her endless experience. And youve outlined lots of difficulties but without any of the problems that were highlighted when you were that well theres still a huge problem and that is unexploded bombs and theyre mixed with all the wreckage the rubble the clothes the bodies the everywhere for example u. S. Coalition jets bomb mosul some bombs fell to explode then you have shells mines isis booby trap suicide vest and all of those are still are still. All over mosul and when kids are playing for example on wrecked buildings or when rescue is a digging out of body when homeowners come back to their destroyed ouse trying to salvage what they coude thats when those bombs go off and rescue us tell us every day they get several more new were victims of well the battle of the battle of mosul but we were there from the very beginning from when those u. S. Led Coalition Jets bombed isis in in mosul day and night then when it was safer we got a little closer to see what those explosions and really caused the price of the liberation of mosul. Civilian casualties are a fact of life in this sort of situation. Do you agree that some of the the high level of i think ridiculous standard that we had previously is now created this. Behavior by isis that they now realize if they take human shield theyre going to avoid being struck and that actually this is adding to the problem congressman i do believe they understand our sensitivity to civilian casualties and theyre exploiting that and i do agree that as we move into these urban environments it is in become more and more difficult to apply extraordinarily high standards for the things were doing although we will try. Neighboring street all but destroyed the street across rubble the street over there. The same story wherever you look. Worse still countless bodies very all this rubble and you know what builds how long it will take to get. Let me show you west mosul now a wasteland the city for all intents and purposes has been erased and theres little or nothing left so its no surprise people dont want to return and they would rather live in tents on one issue i was really excited to return to my home and see it man when i see it in this state i wish id never come back. And i feel completely destroyed i dont feel like coming back to this home ive lost all hope of living here after seeing all this devastation. This was iraqs second largest city founded thousands of years ago and its been a pillar of religion architecture and culture ever since its reconstruction will never be the same if it even happens and its population will be massively diminished official sources the rockies and the u. S. Have all vasili understated the sheer volume of civilian suffering and death a thousand they said investigative journalists put the figure around ten thousand a Senior Health chief in mosul who didnt want to be filmed told us the number is much higher. This book alone contains the names of seven thousand dead victims i have four or five of these every day we got two or three more bodies victims of new explosions. So where does a rock even begin and who will help foot the bill the answer is simple if given the choice no one it will take tens of billions of dollars to rebuild mosul alone and there is a more pressing issue to deal with first the bodies the iraqis hoped the u. S. Led coalition would help resurrect mosul since its Bombing Campaign created much of this destruction the americans in bluntly said no we freed you spend two hundred odd Million Dollars fixing the pipes but aside from that you were on your own as a call and we are not in the business of nation building or reconstruction we must ensure that our respective nations precious and limited resources are devoted to preventing the resurgence of isis and equipping the warring torn communities to take
