Description

Italian photojournalist Lorenzo Meloni began tracing the life and wars of the Islamic State since its inception in 2014. As the Iraqi army and Kurdish forces advanced towards IS-occupied Qayyarah, IS fighters set fire to oil fields as a way to avoid coalition airstrikes, pictured here. The area burned for 10 months, poisoning much of the surrounding, land, water and villages.
