Rebwar Ali landmine deminer in Iraqi Kurdistan
Landmine survivor Rebwar Ali holds an Italian Valmara 69 landmine for a portrait beside the hill where he survived a landmine explosion while posing for a portrait at Biyawele Village near Halabja, Iraqi Kurdistan on July 13, 2021. Ali was one of four family members either killed or wounded when a landmine, like the one he is holding, exploded on July 14, 1992. Though he survived, he wasn't unscathed, he lost his right knee cap, injured his left leg, and injured his head, including blinding his left eye.
