Footage taken on Saturday in Mosul features dozens of children turning areas once targeted during the three-year-long war against ISIS into playground zones. Amid the rubble and rocks left by the conflict that ravaged the city between 2014 and 2017, children could be seen playing.

The psychological and mental impact of the destruction on local children is evident, as they are constantly exposed to the remnants of war and stories of the conflict. Abdul Muttalib al-Ghadanfari, the mayor of al-Khatuniyah in old city of Mosul, highlighted the significant effect the war has had on people.
Bashar Qassem, a Mosul resident, expressed his hope that the security authorities can provide new parks for children, as he believes that they are unable to play safely in the area. "I wish the area gets better. For years, we have come here and found the area filled with gravel and sand.
I hope the security authorities would make new parks, provide new devices, and improve the area because," he said. Despite the destruction and devastation, the children appeared joyful, as Mohammed Luqman, another local, noted. However, he emphasized the the need for "advanced devices for the children because the old ones are risky and dangerous."
Mosul was under the control of ISIS from June 2014 to July 2017 until Iraqi forces liberated the city after a nine-month battle. The most intense fighting occurred in the old city of Mosul, resulting in the destruction of numerous buildings, including ancient churches and monasteries.
