Sectarian killings 'out of control' Iraq
The United Nations’ humanitarian chief said today that sectarian killings are “out of control” in Iraq, with about 100 deaths a day and civilians fleeing neighbourhoods and towns because of the cycle of Sunni-Shiite reprisal attacks.
The UN estimates that at least 320,000 people have left their homes in Iraq since the US-led invasion, some for temporary quarters elsewhere in Iraq, some for Syria, Jordan and other places, Jan Egeland said.
