BAGHDAD EMBARGO
In Baghdad, Iraq, this gallery documents life during the comprehensive embargo imposed on the country as part of the United Nations sanctions that lasted from August 1990 through May 2003. By 1999, the effects of the embargo had become deeply embedded in daily life, contributing to widespread hardship and immense suffering for the Iraqi people. Through these images, the gallery offers a human view of a prolonged political and humanitarian crisis, capturing the resilience, uncertainty, and lived reality of those enduring its consequences.
