An Iraqi soldier takes position in the village of Gogjali, a few hundred metres of Mosul's eastern edge, as clashes go on between Iraqi army forces and jihadists of the Islamic State (IS) group to retake Mosul, the last Iraqi city under the control of IS, on November 2, 2016. More than a million civilians in Mosul were in grave danger and aid workers were “bracing for the worst”, a relief group said, after Iraqi forces reached the jihadist-held city.
