 ISIS' lethal legacy: Iraqis fight the blasting oil wells choking out inhabitants

Al-Qayyara, Iraq Menacing dark smoke hangs over the town of al-Qayyara. The air here is toxic substance.

Kids with darkened hands and ash recolored confronts play underneath the poisonous tufts. The early evening sun is so obscured by the dimness that day appears like unending nightfall.

The dull rottenness covering the scene and stifling occupants' lungs originates from oil wells undermined and set land by ISIS in August.

Specialists and firefighters have been engaging the blazes for 100 days now. At the point when  initially went by al-Qayyara back toward the beginning of October, they had handled six flames with nine to go. Be that as it may, the genuine degree of the harm had yet to be resolved.

Presently there are 19 smoldering wells, three of which have been fixed. Turning them all off is required to take months and cost a large number of dollars in lost oil income.

It's speculated the dread gathering harmed the oil field to make a smoke screen as Iraqi strengths combat to push them out of al-Qayyara, around 35 miles south of Mosul. It is a staggering case of the gathering's seared earth strategy.

"ISIS, these fear mongers, did this," Itkhlaf Mohammed, a lead design attempting to top the wells says. "They did it to give themselves cover from planes and in the meantime to demolish and deliver retribution on the range."
