Their brutal rule forced thousands of innocent civilians to flee for their lives. ISIS used sophisticated propaganda to recruit fighters
from around the world. But in 2016, a coalition of Iraqi and international forces set out to liberate Mosul. They launched relentless airstrikes,
targeting ISIS positions. And ground troops marched forward, as the battle for Mosul intensified. Meanwhile, trapped civilians endured unimaginable
hardships under ISIS rule. Those who managed to escape sought refuge in overcrowded camps. Medical teams worked tirelessly, treating the injured
and saving lives. The battle to regain Mosul turned into a grueling urban war, street by street, house by house. As coalition forces closed in,
they flushed out ISIS fighters from their hiding places. ISIS leaders started surrendering, their once-powerful empire crumbling. And finally,
on July 9, 2017, the Iraqi Prime Minister declared victory in Mosul. But the battle for Mosul left the city in ruins, with countless lives
forever changed. Still, the people of Mosul remain resilient, rebuilding their lives and their city. Their indomitable spirit serves as a
beacon of hope for a brighter future.
