Despite the destruction of their city, older adults like Sana’a Ahmad Ibrahim al-Taee, 61 (above), utilize their wisdom, perseverance and strength to carry on. She lost her two sons, a


daughter and son-in-law during the Battle for Mosul, and now takes care of her 22 grandchildren (between the ages of three and 17) who were left orphaned. She also looks after her husband


who has Alzheimer’s disease. Because the family home was destroyed, they now share a four-room rented apartment with her daughter and two of her sons’ widows. “I hope that the authorities


will give pensions and housing for those orphans because I am not going to live for 100 years,” Sana’a told a Reuters reporter.
