Treating the Wounded in Southeast Mosul

9 December 2016

Mosul, Iraq

Dear all,

Thank you for praying for the people of Iraq and Kurdistan. On Wednesday, the Iraqi Army began a new push to clear ISIS out of Southeast Mosul. So far ISIS is falling back, but not without taking lives with them. Two days ago three Iraqi soldiers from the unit we are working-with were killed by ISIS snipers. We also treated eight wounded that day. Below are photos of the treatment of those soldiers. Thank you for all your help and prayers.

God bless you,

Dave, Family and the Free Burma/Kurd/Iraqi Rangers
