WELLINGTON, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- The New Zealand government said on Tuesday that it would provide 1 million NZ dollars (718,600 U.S. dollars) to help refuges from the embattled Iraqi city of Mosul.
The funding to help meet the humanitarian needs of people affected by the battle to liberate Mosul from Islamic State insurgents would be provided through the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), Foreign Minister Murray McCully said.
New Zealand would also support the United Nations' work to coordinate the humanitarian response in Mosul, by funding an information management and mapping specialist to help track the flows of internally displaced persons.
