Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Iraq, Education, War & Conflict

Iraqi Aunt Najma sums up [1]her sentiments about life in Iraq as follows: “Breathing slowly.. In and out..that's what I have to do to keep myself from crying, and stay alive. I'm more depressed than I've ever been in the last year I think.” She also describes the daily difficulties of getting to and from university.
