The Civilians - Many Of Whom Were Already Displaced, Have Headed East Towards The War-Torn City Of Ramadi. The Un Says The Refugees Are In Need Of Food, Blankets And Medical Supplies. Isis Militants Captured Hit Earlier This Month In An Advance Across Anbar That Has Alarmed Iraqi Leaders. Analysts Say Seizing Anbar Would Enable Isis Militants To Establish A Supply Line To Launch Possible Attacks On The Iraqi Capital, Baghdad. The Us-Led Coalition That Is Battling The Militants Has Carried Out Air Strikes On The Area Around Hit. However, Iraqi Security Officials Said On Monday That Isis Militants Had Overrun A Military Base The Iraqi Army Had Abandoned West Of The City.
