Iraq's prime minister on Saturday called for greater support from the international community in the country's reconstruction efforts.
The country's sacrifices fighting the Islamic State group, Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi said, mean Iraq deserves greater support.
The prime minister's comments game during a meeting with a visiting UN Security council members' delegation, the first such visit to Iraq.
Iraq declared victory against IS in July 2017 after regaining control of the country's second-largest city, Mosul, three years after it was seized by extremists bent on building a global caliphate.
The war against the extremist group left many Iraqi cities, towns and villages destroyed.
Iraq has been struggling to reconstruct them.
International donors pledged $30 billion to help rebuild Iraq last year, far short of the estimated $88.2 billion needed.
