Faulty Mosul Dam Could Collapse, Would Be ‘Catastrophic’

United States Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power tweeted Wednesday afternoon that a dam in Mosul, Iraq, could collapse, leaving the city under 50 feet of water in “only hours.” 

“Work to stabilize Mosul dam must begin ASAP but all countries must step up to fund relief & public education on evacuation routes,” Power tweeted.
