"Shattered city - Narrow path"
A typical view of one of the city's destroyed residential neighbourhoods. A father watches his son cycle down a residential path. He tells his son to keep to the cleared path as improvised explosive devices (IEDs) litter the city. The father and his family recently returned to the city and have rebuilt the apartment's outer walls. But with no running water and electricity, many obstacles still remain for ordinary people. Following the international coalition air campaign, the four-month push to oust the Islamic State, which ended in Oct 2017, destroyed some 90% of the city.
