The Iraqi army says it has retaken 70 percent of eastern Mosul from ISIL.

The Iraqi army says it has retaken 70 percent of eastern Mosul from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS).

It has been fighting to push the armed group out of the northern city, since mid-October.

The army said around 150,000 have fled from Mosul after ISIL seized the city two and a half years ago.

But as the ISIL fighters are driven out of the city, people are beginning to return to their homes to start to rebuild their shattered lives.
