Through the shattered window of a historic building, scars of a three-year it can etched into the walls, reminding us of the pain endured. The general view of destroyed buildings in Mosul's old city stands as a haunting testament to the devastating consequences of war. In al-Harak town near Deraa, a damaged bathroom serves as a poignant symbol of the toll taken on civilian lives. As a fire rages in scrubland near Israel's Gaza Strip, it mirrors the flames that engulfed communities torn apart by violence. Amidst this chaos, hope flickers as residents return to their homes and cautiously peer outside their windows once more. Within Badme, an emblematic territorial dispute town between Eritrea and its neighbors, military bunkers stand stoically amidst uncertainty and strife. Smoke billows from Israeli air strikes in Gaza Strip's central region; echoes of destruction reverberate through these lands. A Russian soldier navigates rebel-used tunnels in Jobar within eastern Ghouta—a stark reminder that even underground sanctuaries bear witness to human suffering. In burnt areas where Palestinians have caused blazes by desperation or defiance, feathers lay scattered like fragile remnants of lost innocence. Yarmouk Palestinian camp in Damascus is shrouded in smoke—an eerie backdrop for countless untold stories trapped within its confines. Cattle graze beside tanks occupying Israel-occupied Golan Heights—nature juxtaposed against machinery designed for destruction speaks volumes about our world today. Above rebel-held areas in Deraa city, birds soar freely above damaged buildings—a bittersweet reminder that life persists even amidst ruins left behind by armed conflicts.
