EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Alaa Al-Marjani, smoke billows up into the sky as a result of an intense airstrike during a fierce battle between Iraqi forces and Islamic State militants in western Mosul, Iraq. The photograph, taken on May 21,2017, showcases the devastating aftermath of armed conflict in an urban city. The damaged exterior of buildings stands as a haunting testament to the destructive nature of war. From an elevated view, we witness the creative use of explosives that have caused immense damage to structures within the vicinity. The explosion has left behind a chaotic scene with debris scattered across what was once a thriving neighborhood. With no people visible in the frame, nature takes center stage amidst this man-made disaster. Smoke and fire blend together against a backdrop of gray clouds and ominous weather conditions. This image serves as a chilling reminder of how dangerous armed conflicts can be and their ability to destroy lives and communities. Alaa Al-Marjani's photograph captures not only the physical destruction but also conveys the emotional toll that such battles inflict upon those involved. It is through images like these that we are reminded of our collective responsibility to strive for peace and prevent further devastation caused by armed conflicts around the world.
