Return to Raqqa

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

There's no place like home, but what if that home is Raqqa, northern Syria? The city became capital of so-called Islamic State, and was left in ruins after the military campaign to retake it. But despite the devastation many families are now coming home, including Um Louay, who fled with her husband and children in 2013. Nader Ibrahim of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Arabic followed her story.
