BBC: Mosul: Clashes continue as troops target IS 'holdouts'
Sporadic clashes have continued in the city of Mosul, despite the Iraqi government's declaration of victory against so-called Islamic State there.
The US-led coalition supporting Iraqi forces said they were rooting out a "handful" of militants in the Old City.
The UN's humanitarian co-ordinator told the BBC that up to 3,000 civilians were also still trapped in the area.
Lise Grande said they were mostly disabled people, the elderly and children separated from their families.
"Many of the people who are in that situation are too weak even to cross the front line. They have to be helped across," she added.
