From UNHCR (17 September 2017): "Around 1,300 Non-Iraqi women and children who were removed from Hammam Al-Alil transit site to a detention facility in Telkaif, north east of Mosul city on 17 September, continue to remain confined with no access to consular services. Humanitarian actors do not have access to the site, with the exception of ICRC. This week, UNHCR protection teams managed to communicate with three women being held in the detention facility, who had been transferred to Mosul to access medical assistance. They alleged that the conditions in the facility remain inadequate and overcrowded; some women and children are still without adequate shelter, blankets or mattresses, despite some improvements from when they first arrived to the facility. The women also allege that verbal and physical abuse is occurring at the facility. UNHCR and other protection partners continue to engage in high level advocacy for humanitarian principles to be upheld and for these women and children to be treated with dignity. UNHCR and humanitarian partners are also closely liaising with the ICRC on assistance that may be required."
