EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of the war against Islamic State militants in east Mosul, Iraq. The image showcases a maternity hospital that has been severely damaged by the violence and destruction brought upon by armed conflict. Taken on August 15,2017, it portrays a scene of utter devastation. The exterior of the hospital is in ruins, with debris scattered all around. The once bustling urban city now stands as a haunting reminder of the fierce confrontations that took place here. Against an ominous sky, this building serves as a symbol of resilience amidst chaos. The creative use of lighting highlights the extent of damage inflicted upon this vital institution for mothers and newborns. Bloodstains on walls and discarded bags serve as chilling reminders of lives forever altered by fear and danger. In this desolate landscape, where hope seems lost, we are confronted with the harsh reality faced by innocent civilians caught in armed conflicts. It is a stark reminder that violence knows no boundaries and can destroy even places meant to heal. Through Azad Lashkari's lens, we witness not only physical destruction but also emotional turmoil etched into every corner of this maternity hospital. This photograph serves as a call to action for peace and compassion amidst such senseless devastation caused by war.
