Displaced Iraqis who fled the violence in the Islamic State group stronghold of Mosul get haircuts at the Hasan Sham camp for displaced people on January 6, 2017. Nearly three months into the offensive launched by Baghdad and its allies to retake the city, IS has lost around two thirds of the eastern side but fully controls the west bank.

A boy looks out from a car window at a checkpoint near Qayara, south of Mosul, Iraq on Nov. 1, 2016.
