Rebuilding ISIS-besieged city to cost Philippines $1.1bn
Philippine Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana has said that rebuilding the ISIS-besieged city of Marawi could cost over $1 billion. The conflict in Marawi began in May, when the Philippine military tried to capture Isnilon Hapilon, the head of a militia that pledged loyalty to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Over 700 people have been killed in the conflict.
