From the New York Times, I'm Michael Barbaro. This is the Daily.

Today, after Mosul was liberated, two times reporters encountered a group of women,

members of a religious minority targeted by the Islamic State,

who had been enslaved by ISIS for years.

Days after the cities fall, the women still believed that ISIS had taken over the world.

It's Friday, July 21st.

For the past two weeks, my colleague, Rukh Minikalamaki,

has been reporting from the Iraqi city of Mosul with daily producer Andy Mills.

Let's start at the camp. Can you just tell me what was this camp that we were at that morning?

This is one of several camps that was set up to basically house people who were fleeing ISIS

and fleeing the air strikes that rained down on Western Mosul as the city was being retaken from the terror group.

And what does it look like?

It looks like we're at the gates of a sprawling refugee camp that's been built on the outskirts of Western Mosul.

I mean, you approach it and you pass a chain link fence with a checkpoint.

And as soon as you go in, it's row after row after row, quite literally as far as the I can see,

of igloo-like tents made of sheeding, and plastic, and metal.

Yeah, there's two little kids. They've made a kite out of pieces of trash.

It's incredibly hot in this part of Mosul right now, over 114 degrees,

and many of the tents don't have any cooling system.

We got there and we want to see the camp director. He had his office inside a trailer.

My name is Rakhmini. This is Andy.

I wanted to speak to civilians that have just left the most badly affected neighborhoods of Western Mosul.
