| − | By Anthony Zurcher, BBC Arabic correspondent
| |
| − | | |
| − | In this rural region, surrounded by mountains, al-Qa'dah is a town of few, and many, people.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is also a city, the largest of its kind in the country. It's where the IS militants set up their base during the four years they have controlled Raqqah.
| |
| − | | |
| − | What makes this battle different from previous ones there, however, is that the situation is very different.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The IS militants, under the leadership of Naji al-Shishani, the head of the militant group Huthi Islamist group in the city, hold the town and large parts of the surrounding areas.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Huthi's forces are now in control of the two bridges over the Zamzam river running along the eastern front of the city, north and south of it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As many as 90% of the population - 90 million people - live in the town centre and the countryside around.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The only area of the countryside that has so far been spared by the militants are the towns of Habbaniya and Aqadam near the border and Al-Rafa'ah, where IS has been struggling to hold on for now to avoid attacking the town itself, said Mr al-Shishani.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The IS militants used heavy artillery and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) to try to destroy a number of army checkpoints south-east of the city centre, Mr al-Shishani said.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A local resident told Reuters news agency: "We are here to take back our town and the whole of northern Raqqah."
| |
| − | | |
| − | The town's population is estimated to have more than 1.5 million people. The IS militants had previously imposed an area of 30 sq km - nearly the area of Nottingham - between Raqqah and the city centre.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On the other side of the city, around a million other civilians in the surrounding countryside are already trapped with IS militants, as well as I

| |
| − | | |
| − | The death toll from the country's worst-ever winter storm surge has surged to 7,000, with the number of injured rising by 30 per cent to 11,000 after a powerful storm surge ripped a path across parts of Sydney and parts of the southern states of NSW.
| |
| − | | |
| − | State Emergency Service Minister Craig Emerson confirmed 10 bodies had been recovered from the streets of Hobart by Sunday afternoon, with more than 150 more still on the way.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He said around 20,000 residents had left their homes and that many had been moved to safer places.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "We don't have any doubt that the weather conditions this week are likely to have created conditions where storm surge is present, whether that be within the city or across the state," Mr Emerson said.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "So we've seen the damage as well as the injuries so we're currently working to determine the extent of the damage and how many of those we can expect to return home."
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mr Emerson said a full death toll was not yet known.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The National Emergency Management Agency said more than 1,000 people were displaced following the storm, with many people trying to return home to find their homes damaged by storm surges in the city centre.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The agency has appealed for help from the public in helping find new houses which could still be habitable or where homes have already been damaged, and has placed an urgent call for people to seek emergency assistance.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "I've got over 900 calls for the last three days from residents across the state who have lost everything in Hobart, or have fled to parts of Victoria," Mr Emerson said.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "I'm hoping that when we get this sorted off we can start to sort off the people that have been displaced from places like Victoria and who will be able to resume some degree of normal life in the city centres."
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mr Emerson said people had been notified to head to places like Werribee to find new houses where there was no damage to homes and to stay away from areas where flood waters have inundated roads.
