EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the innocence and resilience of displaced Iraqi children who have escaped the clutches of the Islamic State in Mosul. The image showcases a group of youngsters playing at Khazer camp, Iraq on December 13,2016. As they revel in their temporary safe haven, their shadows are cast against the backdrop, symbolizing both their haunting past and hopeful future. These brave children have endured unimaginable hardships as they fled from one of the most notorious strongholds of terrorism. Displaced from their homes and separated from loved ones, they find solace in each other's company within this makeshift sanctuary. Despite the darkness that has overshadowed their lives, these young souls refuse to let despair consume them. Their laughter echoes through Khazer camp as they engage in games and playfulness amidst adversity. In this moment frozen by Ammar Awad's lens, we witness a glimmer of hope shining through. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst chaos and destruction, humanity perseveres. It calls upon us to acknowledge not only the immense challenges faced by these innocent victims but also our collective responsibility to support them during such trying times. Through this image print, we are compelled to reflect on our own privilege while recognizing the strength and resilience demonstrated by these displaced Iraqi children who continue to inspire us all with their unwavering spirit for life despite enduring unimaginable horrors.
