Description

Amidst the turmoil of the 1991 war, parents faced a harrowing choice: to protect their loved ones from bombs and missiles, they sought refuge in shelters. In Baghdad's Amiriyah shelter, 450 souls found solace, but tragedy struck at dawn when two US missiles, guided by precision, ravaged the sanctuary, leaving devastation in their wake. Desperate families waited outside, their hopes dashed as the reality of war's cruelty unfolded, leaving behind a dawn tainted with sorrow.
