At one of the most treacherous and
least restored stretches of China's
Great Wall, a line of pack mules
halted upon emerging from the
gloom of a dense forest draped in
mist and dew.
Laden with 150 kg (330 pounds) of
bricks each, the seven animals
finally got moving in response to
the coaxing and swearing of their
masters, eager to gain altitude
before the sun climbed high in the
sky.

For more than a decade, mules have
been crucial in the effort to restore
Jiankou, a serpentine 20-km (12-
mile) section of the wall about 70
km (44 miles) north of central
Beijing that is notorious for its
ridges and perilous slopes.
"The path is too steep and the
mountains are too high, so the
bricks can only be transported by
mules," said local mule owner Cao
Xinhua, who has worked on Great
Wall restoration projects in the
mountains north of Beijing for 10
years.

Where they could, workers would use the
original bricks that have come off the wall
over the centuries. When they found none,
they used new bricks made to exacting
specifications.

"We have to stick to the original format, the
original material and the original craftsmanship,
so that we can better preserve the historical and
cultural values," said Cheng Yongmao, the
engineer leading Jiankou's restoration.
Cheng, 61, who has repaired 17 km (11 miles) of
the Great Wall since 2003, belongs to the 16th
generation in a long line of traditional brick
makers.

A government clampdown on pollution
has forced the closure of almost all
brick-making factories in Beijing and
nearby provinces, Cheng said.
If he ran out of bricks, Cheng added, he
would have to look for bricks left
elsewhere or request the central
government to consider reopening
some brick factories.

Famed for its rugged beauty, Jiankou,
which is Chinese for an arrow's nock, or
notch for a bowstring, was built in the
twilight years of the Ming dynasty in the
1600s, but is young compared with other
sections dating back two millennia.
Intensive repairs on the Jiankou section
of the wall in the past year have been led
by the district government keen to
preserve the wall's natural beauty and
shore up its disintegrating steps.
GALLERY PHOTOS
June 7 , 2017

The restoration began in 2005 and is now in its
third phase, making slow progress because the
uneven terrain allows use only of basic tools such
as chisels, hammers, pickaxes and shovels.
Authorities' meticulous approach followed
widespread outrage last year sparked by botched
restoration efforts on stretches of the wall.
GALLERY PHOTOS
June 7 , 2017

Authorities in the northeastern province of
Liaoning, home to a 700-year-old section of
the wall, paved its ramparts with sand and
cement, resulting in what critics said looked
more like a pedestrian pavement.
Soon after those disastrous repairs, the State
Administration of Cultural Heritage said it
would investigate any improperly executed
wall preservation projects.

Just a tenth of the wall built during
the Ming dynasty has been repaired,
said Dong Yaohui, vice president of
the China Great Wall Association.
"In the past, we would restore the
walls so that they would be visited
as tourist hot spots," he said, by
contrast with today's objective of
repairing and preserving it for future
generations. "This is progress."

There was a smell of death in Mosul’s Old City when Ayman
Hashem came back this week to see what happened to his
home. His neighborhood was unrecognizable.
“All that’s left is rubble and the bodies of families trapped
underneath,” the 23-year-old said. He flipped through
photos on his phone, showing picture after picture of
wreckage. His own house was “cut in half,” he said. He had
to cover his nose with his tee-shirt because of the smell of
buried, rotting bodies.

July 14 , 2017

The population, once numbering 3 million, is battered and exhausted,
with hundreds of thousands displaced. Without a swift campaign to
rebuild Mosul, aid and rights groups warn the current humanitarian crisis
will balloon and resentment will likely give way to extremism,
undermining the victory.
“If the western half is ignored it will produce a social disaster and this
social disaster will create bigger destruction if it’s not addressed,” said
Khatab Mohammed al-Najjar, a resident of eastern Mosul who watched
the Old City burn from across the Tigris River during the operation.
GALLERY PHOTOS

“West Mosul produced Daesh, and it is very possible it
may produce a new Daesh,” he said, referring to west
Mosul’s historically more religious and traditional
residents. He used the Arabic acronym for IS.
When Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared
victory in Mosul Monday, he pledged reconstruction
would begin soon. But his government still struggles to
finance day-to-day workings of the state amid low oil
prices.
GALLERY PHOTOS

Thousands of Mosul families have been left
without a home. Schools have been leveled,
utility grids wrecked, highways pounded into
broken dirt roads.
All five of the city’s bridges spanning the
Tigris River have been damaged. The main
hospital complex where a battle raged for
more than a month is a burned out shell.
Mosul’s airport looks like a derelict parking
lot, booby-trapped with explosives by fleeing
IS fighters.
GALLERY PHOTOS

In eastern Mosul, the destruction
was less intense. More than 160,000
of the 176,000 people who fled the
east have returned, according to the
U.N. Residents have begun
rebuilding homes, shops have
reopened, and demining is
underway.
But west of the Tigris,
neighborhoods have been rendered
into ghost towns. There, coalition
strikes killed some 5,805 civilians
between Feb. 19 and June 19,
according to Airwars, a London-
based monitoring group tracking
civilian deaths resulting from
coalition actions.
GALLERY PHOTOS

Fewer than a tenth of the
more than 730,000 people
who fled western Mosul
have filtered back.
Saif Mohammed recently re-
opened his sandwich shop
on a main avenue in the
west, repairing war damage
with the help of a $5,000
loan from relatives. On the
same street, only two or
three other shops are open.
The other storefronts are
bombed out and burned, the
corrugated Iron doors
warped by explosions.
GALLERY PHOTOS

His shop is a bet that residents will return. “But what
people really need is government help,” he said. “If the
government doesn’t give money, there won’t be any
rebuilding.”
Hiyam Mohammed hid in her home with her family on
the edge of the Old City throughout the fight. They
could see the cemetery from their house.
GALLERY PHOTOS

“Some days the funerals lasted
from dawn into the night. There
were so many bodies piled up, it
looked like a hill,” she said. “I
thought I was going crazy seeing
this. They didn’t even have time to
wash the dead.”
She said the only way to justice is
if the government and coalition
pay compensation to those who
lost relatives or property.
GALLERY PHOTOS

“The government brought Daesh to us,” she said, referring to
sectarian rule that fueled Sunni extremism and corruption that
weakened the country’s security forces. “This mess is God’s
revenge for that.”
But some in the security forces have resentments of their own,
blaming Mosul residents for supporting IS.
“The people here have always had a rebellious nature, so they
should take some responsibility for what has happened,” said
Maj. Imad Hassan, a federal police officer from Baghdad.
GALLERY PHOTOS

During the campaign, his unit fought to capture
a stretch of the corniche running along the
Tigris, hammering it with artillery for weeks to
clear out IS resistance. The former municipal
center was shredded, rows of buildings
blackened, palm trees lining the boulevard
burned.
“I hope this destruction teaches them their
lesson,” he said.
Iraqi and coalition officials say the devastation
was the result of the Islamic State group’s
tenacious grip. IS transformed the city into a
fortress. Its fighters used hospitals and schools
as military bases, moved civilians from the rural
outskirts into central neighborhoods to use as
shields from airstrikes and rigged hundreds of
houses and roads with explosives.
GALLERY PHOTOS

Nearly 10 years ago, Maj. Maher
Aziz Khalaf fought IS’ predecessor,
al-Qaida, in Mosul alongside U.S.
forces. But when he rolled into
western Mosul with the first wave
of Iraqi special forces troops in
early February he said he
immediately realized this battle
would alter the city in a way
previous fights hadn’t.
“In 2008 it was different. We
would just identify which houses
the terrorists were living in, come
in at night and arrest them,” he
said. “We were fighting gangs, not
an entire city.”
GALLERY PHOTOS

A coalition spokesman, Col. Joe
Scrocca, said the forces had to balance
between protecting non-combatants
and infrastructure on one hand and
moving quickly on the other. Another
factor, he said, was that the longer it
took to free the city, the more danger
civilians were in, whether from lack of
food or IS retaliation.
Hesitant to risk casualties along their
own troops, Iraqi military
commanders relied on airpower and
artillery to clear neighborhoods where
a handful of IS fighters armed with
light weapons and civilians as human
shields repeatedly stalled entire units
of Iraq’s military.
GALLERY PHOTOS

As the fight moved to the Old
City, rights groups and the U.N.
warned the coalition and Iraqi
forces against using large
munitions. Still, the U.S.-led
coalition repeatedly approved
the use of 500- and 2,000-pound
bombs inside the densely
populated district.
As waves of civilians fled the Old
City, more than a dozen
individuals told the AP they
knew of multiple families killed
under their homes by what they
believed to be airstrikes.
GALLERY PHOTOS

“The buildings can be rebuilt, but the
human lives lost cannot,” said Iraqi
special forces Lt. Gen. Abdul-Ghani al-
Asadi from a base on the edge of Old
City on Tuesday.
“But the buildings in the Old City were
all very old anyway,” he said. “Now we
can demolish them and build
apartment buildings.”

was "being driven by conflict, the collapse of
the basic public services and malnutrition."
He said the WHO and the U.N. Children's
Agency UNICEF were supporting more than
600 treatment centers and rehydration
points in Yemen and planned to open
another 500 centers but there was a
shortage of doctors and nurses.

Yemen's economy has collapsed and
30,000 health worker have not been
paid for more than 10 months, so the
United Nations has stepped in with
"incentive" payments to get them to
help with the fight against cholera.
U.N. Yemen mediator Ismail Ould
Cheikh Ahmed told the Security
Council a Saudi donation of $67 million
had helped slow the cholera spread
and called on other donors to step up.

The $2.1 billion humanitarian appeal for
Yemen is only 33 percent funded, and the
response to the cholera epidemic
requires an additional $250 million, of
which just $47 million has been received,
according to U.N. humanitarian chief
Stephen O'Brien.

The United Nations has blamed the
warring sides in Yemen and their
international allies, including Saudi
Arabia, for fueling the cholera outbreak,
driving millions of people closer to
famine, and for hindering aid access.
The cholera epidemic in Yemen could
spread during the annual haj pilgrimage
in Saudi Arabia in September, although
Saudi authorities are well prepared, the
World Health Organization (WHO) said
on July 14.
