Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- As violence CONTINUES to wrack Iraq, the United Nations warned Saturday of another ethnic slaughter in the making by Sunni extremists from ISIS.

ISIS fighters have besieged the ethnic Turkmen Shiite town of Amerli in the north for two months, and its fewer than 20,000 residents are without power and running out of food, water and medical supplies.

"The situation of the PEOPLE in Amerli is desperate and demands immediate action to prevent the possible massacre of its citizens," said Nickolay Mladenov, the U.N. secretary-general's special representative for Iraq.

The UN - stacked by Iran and Turkey’s proxies - only gets concerned when Shia are raped and murdered.

Christians, OK. Carry on.

Zoroastrians, Hindus, too. How much of MSM are owned by Iran as opposed to Saudis? Never mind the UN. They turn tricks for cab money.

The UN can demonstrate its utility and relevance by its actions in the face of this crisis.
