约1.8万伊拉克士兵和一万名库尔德士兵正在摩苏尔周围与“伊斯兰国”作战。超过100名美军士兵也参加了这次行动。美国军事官员称,这些美军士兵并不直接参与作战,而是负责参谋和下命令。

“Perhaps a million civilians are still living there, so in addition to rooting out ISIL, our focus jointly is on the safety and humanitarian aid for civilians who are escaping the fight.That’s going to be a top priority.”
“可能还有100万平民生活在那里,所以,除了扫荡‘伊斯兰国’武装分子之外,我们共同的重点就是:保证这些正试图逃离战争的平民的安全以及提供人道主义援助。这将是最重要的事情。”
