Is Mosul Dam in Iraq going to collapse?

Newsday

Available for over a year

Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians could be at risk of being killed, if the country's largest dam collapses. It was recaptured over a year ago from IS fighters, but it has since then suffered from neglect and erosion. It's now in a dangerous state, but the Iraqi government hasn't got the money for repairs. The Âé¶¹Éç's Ahmed Maher went to the dam to see things for himself.
