The United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF, is appealing for $17 million to help rebuild Iraq’s health facilities.
The agency says up to 750,000 children are still lacking access to health services in Mosul, seven months after Islamic State militants were driven out from the city.
It says rehabilitation of clinics and hospitals is key to allowing displaced people to return home.
The appeal comes ahead of an international conference to support the country’s reconstruction next week in Kuwait.
