Description
As dawn breaks over central Iraq, teenager Dalia Ghali loads heavy bricks at the oil-fired brickworks near Al-Kifl city, south of Baghdad, after being forced out of school and into a hazardous job to support her family. Babil province, where the Ghali family live, is Iraq's second poorest, according to the authorities. Nationwide, nearly 17 percent of the oil-rich country's 45 million people live in poverty.
