Family plaques at Halabja Memorial Cemetery, Halabja, Kurdistan Region, Iraq - stock photo

These tombstones at the Memorial Cemetery in Halabja commemorate the victims of the chemical attacks on the city by the Baath regime in 1988. Each tombstone represents a family, with several family members’ names recorded on each plaque. This is not a graveyard: the victims have been buried elsewhere, and the site serves a commemorative purpose only.
