Nanna Heitmann: Witnesses – When The Birds Will Fly Again

On the 50th anniversary of Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), a new book, Witnesses: 50 Years of Humanity, looks back at the crises that the medical organisation has served at over the last five decades. Through the photos and words of those who lived through these events, the book bears witness to the difficult mission of providing assistance.

In this article, Nanna Heitmann looks back on the time she spent photographing in Iraq on assignment for Médecins Sans Frontières, four years after ISIS had been driven out of the city.
