How Iraqi farmers rebuild their farms thanks to Caritas Czech Republic’s support

The Nineveh plains in northern Iraq are called the breadbasket of the country. When in 2014 the self-proclaimed Islamic State occupied the region, it seized and destroyed land, seeds, grains, crops, and equipment from local farmers, who had to flee their homes.
