The United Nations has declared the highest level of humanitarian emergency in Iraq and has accused Islamic State militants of carrying out "barbaric" acts of sexual violence against women and teenage boys and girls belonging to Iraqi minorities.
U.N. special representative Nickolay Mladenov said that the declaration by the UN of a "Level 3 Emergency" in Iraq would "facilitate mobilization of additional resources in goods, funds and assets to ensure a more effective response to the humanitarian needs of populations affected by forced displacements," BBC News reported on Thursday.
The Islamic State, formerly known as ISIS, has taken over significant territory in Iraq and Syria, capturing major cities, carrying out violent attacks on minorities, including Christians, and forcing close to 1.2 million people to flee their homes.
Militants have been accused by humanitarian organizations of violent acts such as beheading children and carrying out "savage rapes."
"We are gravely concerned by continued reports of acts of violence, including sexual violence against women and teenage girls and boys belonging to Iraqi minorities," Mladenov and Zainab Hawa Bangura, the special representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, said in a joint statement.
"Atrocious accounts of abduction and detention of Yazidi, Christian, as well as Turkomen and Shabak women, girls and boys, and reports of savage rapes, are reaching us in an alarming manner."
Bangura and Mladenov added that close to 1,500 Yazidi and Christian persons may have been forced into sexual slavery.

Or order our military to drop cases of water from 100 feet in the air so they burst open upon impact on the ground there - just to torture them further.
Yeah, but the real problem, apparently to the un, is the Israelis and their human rights violations. Right?
Well, the UN ought to know sexual depravity when they see it. Given the antics of some of their representatives, they can hardly claim the moral high ground here. Not that I’m justifying this behavior, but this is kind of like Pot meet Kettle.
How bad do you have to be for the Barbarians in the U.N To denounce you as barbaric?
UN: “That’s OUR job!”
UN is preparing the trucks for aid and assistance. Poverty is the root cause of ISIS barbarity according to liberals.
Not surprising, as in Muslim culture women and children are property and spoils of war.
The UN would know about barbaric sexual violence.
