Shop-owner Adnan dragged himself from the rubble for the second day in a row, as again the house where he was sheltering was bombed in a U.S.-led campaign to uproot the last Islamic State militants from Mosul.
"Daesh (Islamic State) forced us out of our home, so we moved to a relative's house nearby. Yesterday the house was bombed," he said after being evacuated by the army Monday. "We moved to my cousin's house, and this morning it was also bombed."
Adnan, who has shrapnel lodged in his skull from an earlier mortar attack, said he survived, with others, by hiding in the houses' underground cellars.
