The only thing Zainab remembers about the blast was the searing heat. Five days later, she woke up in a hospital in the Basra region in southern Iraq, with burns on her body and shrapnel embedded in her eyes. She was greeted with devastating news – her mother had died in the explosion. Zainab was also told she wouldn’t be able to see again, like she used to, due to damage to her eyes.
“When I think of her, I start to cry. I lost my eyes, and I lost my mother,” Zainab says. “She was my whole life. I miss seeing her.”
Zainab says she wants to go back to school, but that schools in her area aren’t able to properly support someone with a disability like hers. She says that for now, she relies on her older brother, Abdel, for almost everything. But she is determined to continue her education. “I don’t lose hope,” she says. “I want to go to India to have surgery and return to school soon.”
