Images of the Chibayesh marshland in Iraq's southern Ahwar area of Dhi Qar province, where Raad al-Ghalibi looks after his cattle with his brother. Ghalibi lived in the marshland with his family and raised buffalos, but due to the drought in recent years, he sent his family to live in a more hospitable area in the country and remained in the marshland, although he now sees signs of stability as water level has risen again.
