"The town of #Baghouz thanks you for your visit." Today, from the eastern #Syria hamlet where IS is making its last stand. The US-backed forces fighting to take Baghouz have cornered a group of diehard jihadists in a half-square-kilometre, but an unknown number of civilians - including Syrian & foreign hostages - are thought to be holed up with them. A sputtering end to IS's once-infamous "caliphate," in a town anonymous even to most Syrians until just a few weeks ago.
Escape from Al-Hol. #latergram because authorities have restricted journalists' access to displaced families here. There are more than 35,000 people - most Iraqi and Syrian but also thousands of foreigners - living in tents in this sprawling settlement in northeast #Syria. These kids were playing a very lively game of football on a cloudy afternoon - only the lucky ones had closed-toed shoes on. #Iraq #refugees #camp #joy
A 34-year-old Crimean woman tears a piece of bread to feed her eldest of three children, Sara, after their hours-long trek on foot out of Baghuz, the tiny desert town in east #Syria where IS's infamous 'caliphate' is breathing its last. I haven't found a single person actually from this once-anonymous town. Instead, we've seen French, Russian, Iraqi, Turkish men, women, and children - skeletal, on the verge of collapse, covered in soot. Many of them were born under IS to fathers who are now dead or missing & foreign mothers whose countries don't want them back. More, in the link in my bio. #onassignment
