Iraqi security forces have retaken key areas in the western city of Ramadi from the Islamic State (IS), including a hospital.

An official said that militants inside the hospital blew themselves up when they ran short of ammunition, reported the BBC.

Meanwhile, the United Nations said that more than 114,000 people had fled their homes in two weeks of fighting in Ramadi and surrounding areas of Anbar province.

Both the IS and the Iraqi government claim to be making advances in Ramadi.

Iraqi troops dealt a major blow to the IS earlier this month by retaking the city of Tikrit, which the terror outfit seized last June.
