Iraqi forces flash the sign of victory as they drive their vehicle on November 3, 2016 near Gogjali, which lies on the eastern edge of Mosul, during their ongoing operation against jihadists of the Islamic State group to retake the city of Mosul. Some civilians were leaving Gogjali and others the eastern Mosul neighbourhood of Samah, in what may be a rare breach for civilians trapped inside the city. More than 21,000 people have fled to government-held areas since October 17, while thousands more may have been seized by IS for use as human shields, according to the United Nations.
