Powerful Heart-Breaking Pictures Of The Battle Of Mosul

As the Battle of Mosul goes on so does the race among photographers who are trying to sell snapshots of the battle to media outlets. As Kainoa Little couldn’t find a buyer for his pictures, he decided to share them online for free – and they narrate a harrowing story of fight and survival.

The Shoreline, Washington-based photographer specializes in taking photographs in war zones. In April 2017, he was in Mosul to document Iraqi Federal Police fight to free the city from ISIL militants. Civilians were fleeing in mass numbers, because of heavy clashes that were underway in the Old City. Kainoa Little’s pictures capture a vivid variety of emotions; the devastation of the refugees leaving their homes, the emotional strength of the soldiers protecting them, and the rage and sheer chaos tormenting all of those involved in the battle, to name just a few.

Although Mosul is not yet entirely free, the Iraqi forces have made important headway in rescuing the ancient city from ISIL. We can only wish that the end to this cruel fight is close and that Kainoa Little will soon have better luck on the press photography market.

Check out his powerful photos below.

  2. Wow!
    This is the most wonderful thing i have ever experience and i need to share this great testimony.
    About how i get my ex husband after a breakup.
    I never believed it, because i never heard nor learn anything about it before.

    I'm so excited sharing this testimony here about how I got my ex husband back after a long time break up that almost led to a divorce all thanks to Dr Ahmed for his wonderful help. Am a woman who love and cherish my husband more than any other thing you can imagine on earth. My husband was so lovely and caring after 3 years of marriage he was seriously ill and the doctor confirm and said he has a kidney infection that he needed a kidney donor, that was how I start searching for who can help, doctor has given me a periodic hour that he will live just 24 hours left, that was how I ask the doctor if I can be of help to my husband that was how he carried out the text, the confirming was successful, I was now having this taught that since 3 years now we got married I have not be able to get pregnant, can I ever get pregnant again? That was the question I ask the doctor, he never answer his response was did you want to lost your husband? I immediately reply no I can't afford to lose him. After the operation my husband came back to live and was healthy I was also ok with the instruction given to me by the doctor, after 3 months my husband came home with another lady telling me, that is our new wife that will give us kids and take care for us, that was how I was confused and started crying all day, that was how my husband ran away with his new wife cleanable. Since then I was confuse don't know what to do that was how I went back to the doctor and tell him everything, he told me that, this is not just ordinary, it must be a spiritual problem that was how he gave me this Email: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com that I should tell he all my problem that he can help, that was how I contacted he and I do as instructed. After 22 hours and I have done what he ask me to do, my husband start searching for me and went back to the doctor, that was how he came back to me, he also told me not to worry that I will get pregnant, this month making it ten Months I contacted he, and am now having a baby of nine months and 2 weeks old all thanks to Dr Ahmed for his help that is why I have put it as a must for me to spread the news about Dr Ahmed is a place to resolve marriage/relationship problems?
