Stressing: "What we have seen from the courage in the fighting and the high morale owned by the people of this city is a source of pride for all Iraqis, although with the small number of the soldiers and the lack of the means, but they stood firm in front of the attacks of terrorist groups and made them get heavy losses over two months, making these Takfiri gangs unable to penetrate their ranks despite the repeated attempts."

Stating that: "The city lives difficult humanitarian conditions, as the quantities of the received food and water is very small and is not adequate with the scale of the suffering experienced by the population. Not to mention the security aspect, as it is witnessing steadily, bombing of mortars by the terrorist groups, prompting the brothers in the city of Amerly to make the delegation moves to more than four places in one day for its safety, and despite the suffering experienced by the city and the imposed siege, the locals showed during the reception of the delegation heroic generosity."

And, Mr. Al-Zaydi concluded saying: "Insha-Allah, after the delegation's return to the holy city of Karbala, plans will be set up to change the reality in Amerly in the near future, and victory over those astray groups who, are trying to seize Iraq's cities will be achieved"
