Exile in Limbo - Watching Home Burn from a Distance - Iraq

ERBIL, Iraq In the Baharka district, the daily existence of Syrian Kurdish refugees is defined by a haunting duality. While laborers attempt to focus on their work in bakeries and construction sites, in local clinics, doctors attend to patients whose physical ailments are often deepened by the psychological trauma of the war, checking vitals while the sick anxiously await updates from home.Inside the shelters, even the children have replaced cartoons with graphic news feeds, gathering around small screens to watch the destruction of a homeland they can barely remember. Whether in a clinic, a workshop, or a home, thousands here live a surreal reality physically safe in the Kurdistan Region, but mentally living on the frontlines of the conflict in Rojava and Aleppo Iraq on January 11, 2026.
