Civilians continue to flee the bloodshed as the Iraqi army tries to liberate the city.
Over a thousand are believed to have lost there lives, and close to 200,000 have been displaced.
UN figures suggest that over 750,000 people are trapped in their homes in the west of the city, threatening to slow the progress of the Iraqi troops as they try to differentiate between friend and foe.
