Uncovering Iraq's mass graves: the painstaking search for missing loved ones.
The country has as many as one million missing people after decades of conflict. Forensic teams face huge challenges to document human remains as families wait in hope of closure.
Since 2008, the Iraqi health ministry and the Martyrs Foundation - a government body helping to identify victims and compensate relatives - have been sending teams of forensic anthropologists and doctors across the country to find and excavate mass graves and retrieve bodies.
The site of a mass grave in Alo Antar hole, in Tell Afar, Mosul. The team of Legal Medicine Directorate and Mass Grave Department found 158 victims from different communities: Yazidis from Sinjar, Shiaa Turkmens from Tell Afaar, Sunni armed forces, Sunni Sheikhs against Isis who were all executed in the 42 meter deep hole and piled up. The total number of bodies piled up reached 8 metres high. Tell Afar, 4th August 2024.

'We just want the truth': British coastal towns fight for answers over mystery sealife deaths
Question mark over freeport in Tees Valley after ecological disaster puts communities in the north east of England at loggerheads with the government.
The mystery of what caused the deaths has thrust small coastal communities in the north-east of England, into the centre of a national political drama.
The Environment Agency, part of Defra, promised to investigate, pledging to send samples of water, sediment and crab for analysis, which they said would examine the theory that pollution was to blame. Then in February this year, the official answer came. Concerns that dredging work in September had disturbed toxic sediment in the River Tees were dismissed because there was "no evidence of a link" between that and the die-offs, Defra's report said. Instead, it concluded, the most likely factor was a "naturally occurring harmful algal bloom".
Local Fisherman Paul Graves in the seaside port town of Hartlepool in County Durham. local fisherman and the community have suffered in the past year with large numbers deaths of crabs and lobsters which have been washed up all along the North East and North Yorkshire coastline. Fishing crews have noticed sparse catches and massive decline in their catches which have been “catastrophic” to their livelihoods. A recent investigation by the Environment Agency has identified a harmful algal bloom being of significance however local fisherman dispute this and suspect that licensed dredging and chemical contamination related to offshore windfarms are to blame.
