the birth of Fatime


Share on social media

Ahlan Ibrahim Abad, 29, gives birth to her tenth child in the hospital Al Yarmok, under the thunder of the bombs, the darkness of the delivery room and the rumble of the walls. Imad Abd Fakria Grandma aid, as he prays. Iman Atra, Lina and Sadia Anor Kalaf, attend the birth. Her husband, Basim Ibrahim Rasin, a prisoner for ten years in prison in Iran during the war between the two countries, wait in a hospital corridor.

  • Biography
    In January 1997, I bought my first camera and traveled to Afghanistan. Taliban extremists seized power in the country a few weeks earlier. That was my first international experience and also with photography. From there, I worked in various parts of the world, especially in the Balkans, the Middle East, and Asia. At first, my work was directed at the media, magazines, newspapers and agencies in my country and abroad. But for a decade now, I have been concentrating my efforts on long-term projects, to which I dedicate many years and with a more humanistic than dependent perspective.
