The killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (1939-2026), the former supreme leader of Iran, on the first day of the joint US-Israeli campaign against Iran that began on February 28, shifted global headlines within 24 hours from the Jeffrey Epstein case to the death of the Iranian leader and the escalating war in the Middle East.
A Kurdish family from Afrin has spent years displaced, moving from one frontline to another across northern Syria, with each of their children born in a different city. Most recently, they fled Aleppo’s Kurdish neighborhoods to Qamishli in northeast Syria (Rojava) after deadly clashes between Damascus-affiliated forces and Kurdish fighters.
For the third time in less than a decade, Kurdish families displaced by conflict have been displaced once again, forced to seek shelter in school classrooms in Qamishli amid harsh weather conditions, as attacks by the Syrian Arab Army and its affiliated groups leave the displaced with nowhere else to go.
Instead of the sound of a school bell and children’s chatter, only the icy breath of Abdul Ghani Ismail and his children echo within four walls of a classroom that has become their home.
