A little girl named Amina was found by Iraqi Army soldiers when they heard her cries from the rubble. She was believed to be a foreigner and spoke Russian. When asked where her father and mother were she said they were martyrs, probably ISIS fighters killed in the battle or by suicide bomb, it was difficult for medics to determine exactly. She was given emergency medical care at a Trauma Stabilization Point with Iraqi Army medics and Global Response Management team amid ruins of the Old City then taken to the general hospital.

Shattered lives, lost loved ones and escape from the rubble of collapsed homes and the evil of ISIS doctrine, leaves scars of emotional trauma even more difficult to heal.

Wounded and weak, most who have survived now face an uncertain future in the limbo of camps after losing their homes.

The war in Mosul may be over, but the humanitarian crisis continues.

The UN estimates it will cost nearly £1billion to restore the city's basic infrastructure - such as clean water and electricity.

Civilians, many wounded and weak, arrive at a medical Trauma Stabilization Point near the Old City as they flee the fierce battle with ISIS in West Mosul amid ruins of the city. Those not severely injured continue walking after being checked for suicide bombs and are then transported

A woman named ALIA holds the body of her 12-year-old child ULA who passed away on the truck to a Trauma Stabilization Point two hours previously. She said it was from lack of food and water as they were trapped in the Old City during the battle with ISIS. Her husband died from a mortar. She clutched the tiny body and would not let medics take her, hoping to bury her child with relatives in East Mosul.

A child named Khadija found in the rubble of the explosion when her parents set off suicide bombs. She kept calling out for her mother not realising the burns she sustained were caused by her mother exploding herself alsol, according to soldiers and medics. She said ''My father is killed Shaid'' which meant dying as a martyr for his nation and religion. She is from Chechnya and her family were foreign fighters for ISIS. She is now an orphan.
