An Iraqi soldier prays next to the body of a baby outside a makeshift field clinic on the edge of Mosul's Old City as the fighting to liberate the remaining pocket of ISIS-held territory intensifies.

A critically malnourished two-month-old baby is examined by frontline paramedic Katie Batrouney at a makeshift field clinic on the edge of Mosul's Old City, Iraq, on June 21, 2017. Without access to food or clean water while trapped for months under ISIS occupation inside the Old City, many civilians suffered from severe malnutrition. Volunteer medics from international medical organisations Global Response Management and Academy of Emergency Medicine worked day and night to provide lifesaving care to those caught up in the conflict.

Civilians flee as the fighting continues to retake the remaining pocket of ISIS-held territory in the Old City of Mosul, Iraq, on June 21, 2017. As Iraqi forces pushed into the Old City routes were opened for civilians to escape.

The glow of the setting sun is seen from inside a minaret dotted with bullet holes located in a West Mosul neighbourhood recently liberated from Islamic State control by Iraqi forces, on June 25, 2017. Smoke billows in the background as a group of Islamic State fighters launch a counter attack in a nearby neighbourhood, setting fire to houses, causing thousands of civilians to flee in fear of a resurgence of the terror group.
