Displaced Iraqi families rest during their evacuation from the modern town of Hatra and neighbouring villages, near the eponymous UNESCO-listed ancient city, southwest of the northern city of Mosul, on April 26, 2017, as pro-government Hashed al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilisation) paramilitary forces advance during an offensive to retake the area from Islamic State (IS) group fighters. Hatra is the latest important archaeological site to be recaptured from IS. Jihadists had embarked on a campaign of destruction against archaeological sites after they seized swathes of Iraq and Syria in a lightning 2014 offensive. The full extent of the harm to Hatra remains unclear. / AFP PHOTO / AHMAD AL-RUBAYE (Photo credit should read AHMAD AL-RUBAYE/AFP/Getty Images)
