Jerry Kramer with Love for the Least, a grass roots NGO, tenderly holds Syrian refugee Shivan Sulaiman Ibrahim, his body now twisted and contracted, in the end stages of dying at Camp Domiz in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq on May 11, 2017 after his family fled ISIS. His mother Murdya Mahmood Khalil weeps as she accepts the imminent loss of her son. A doctor on the medical mission suggests the most humane treatment is palliative care. Many of the disabled are shunned by the community and husbands abandon the family, as did Murdya's spouse. Her other young son is showing signs of the progressive deformities as well. It is believed that marriages between close relatives may be the cause of many genetic birth defects in the refugee camps. As a result of the conflicts many of the men were killed and it has led to these marriages. As Shivan fades away, the war with ISIS continues to wage in Mosul. (photo by Carol Guzy)
