IN PICTURES: Mosul, the other side of the decor
23 Jul 2017  |  Middle East Eye
Nearly nine months after the Iraqi forces' offensive to retake Mosul from the Islamic State, the country's second-largest city was officially declared 'liberated' on July 9. The recapture of this major urban stronghold from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's fighters came at the cost of thousands of deaths and injuries, massive population exodus, and extensive destruction. New Zealand photographer Martyns Aims has been with the Iraqi forces since the battle for Mosul began on October 17, 2016. His images depict the despair of a city in ruins, the distress of civilians trapped between ISIS and war, and the violence exacerbated by heat and dust. The UN Development Programme in Iraq highlights the severe destruction in West Mosul, with infrastructure and public services destroyed over 90%, and private properties 70%. Over a million people have left Mosul since the fighting began, and as of mid-July, more than 825,000 have not returned home. The old city's historical landmarks, including the al-Nouri mosque and its leaning minaret, were destroyed by ISIS. Iraqi forces, trained by the United States and numbering over 100,000, have suffered heavy losses. The UN has called for justice and reconciliation to prevent further violence and suffering for civilians, expressing concern over collective punishment of families linked to ISIS. Bodies floating on the Tigris River and the difficulty for civilians to find shelter highlight the humanitarian crisis. Amnesty International has demanded an independent commission to investigate crimes against civilians by all parties involved.
