Oil fires cast black cloud over Iraqi town retaken from Islamic State (ISIS / Daesh / ISIL / IS) militants, Al-Alam News Network reports.
One of the Iraqi residents told: “We call on the Iraqi government to save us and extinguish the (burning oil) wells. They are suffocating us. The birds, the animals are black, the people are black. Gas rains down on us at night. Now the gas has reached the residential areas. Therefore, we call on the government to extinguish the oil wells as soon as possible”.
“Water is restored, but still no electricity and the issue of the burning oil. They have to put out because the smoke hurts us very much. Gas rains down on houses.”
