IRBIL, Iraq - Doctors in the main hospital treating trauma victims from the battle for Mosul, Iraq, say they are overflowing with casualties, both civilians and soldiers.

One doctor at the West Irbil Hospital says the main triage center for trauma cases is seeing 100 to 150 patients daily.

And he says authorities are expecting the tide to stay the same for three months.

The offensive to free Mosul of Islamic State militants is now in its second month.
