The United Nations announced that 202 mass graves containing the remains of thousands of victims were discovered in areas controlled by the terrorist organization Da'ash in Iraq.
A report issued by the United Nations yesterday highlighted the legacy of the campaign of terrorism and violence, launched by an advocacy organization, and calls for victims to uncover truth and achieve justice.
The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and the United Nations Human Rights Office have documented 202 mass grave sites in the provinces of Nineveh, Kirkuk, Salah al-Din and Anbar in the northern and western parts of the country, but there may be much more.
According to the report, it is difficult to determine the total number of people buried in these graves. The smallest site in western Mosul had eight bodies, while the largest is believed to be the al-Khasafa gap site south of Mosul, which could include thousands.
