For three years Mosul was occupied by the extremist group known as the Islamic State. During the occupation which lasted until July 2017, the group destroyed many important ancient sites with hammers, bulldozers and explosives.

Shaimaa Khalil meets the women in London as they participate in the British Museum’s ‘Iraq Scheme’.
