IRAQ. Qaraqosh. 2017. People leave after Easter Mass at St. George's church in the nearly abandoned town of Qaraqosh, recently liberated from ISIS. A Santa Claus mannequin destroyed by ISIS lies on the ground. The service was nearly empty as most residents have yet to return to the town, citing lack of security and lack of services. Although many of the Muslim dominated towns that have liberated from ISIS have many signs of life, the minority towns are still largely empty.
