Sarpol-e Zahab was not the town that I thought. It was like a ruined village, with destroyed houses. It had no shops, or if there was, often it was put up shutters. Shutters had been warped by the blast or had been pierced. The streets had been reduced to a pile of rubble. Asphalt had been dug and when the car fell into potholes, our heads hit the car roof.

We passed the deserted and quiet streets. All along the way sporadic shops were open on which fruit, meat, vegetables and daily necessities of people were sold.

I said: “This is a ghost town.”

He shook his head and said: “Well, it’s a war zone.”
Shortly after, we arrived to Abouzar barracks. He got out of the car in front of its door and showed his ID card to a military police that had stood there. He spoke with him and then got into the car. MP peeped into the car and looked at me and children, and then he allowed us to move.
