Photographer Ali arkady started his dangerous journey to Baghdad, Iraq, in July. He had one goal: spend close to a year with a group of Iraq's orphans, a story he wanted the world to hear about. Thousands of children have lost their parents in Iraq's recent bloody past, but many of them are cared for by extended family. These children are the forgotten ones, with no family to take them in. Arkady packed his gear and spent nine months with 33 children at a safe house for some of Iraq's most neglected. "They are a bunch of children, very vulnerable and very sensitive to their outside world," Arkady said. "Since then, I think of them every day and I wish them luck." #war #warphoto #warphotography #phtojournalist #photography #ISIS #heartbreaking #iraq #baghdad "Where is my mom? Do you think one day she will come to take me home?" a boy asked Arkady during his time there. "That moment, tears rolled down my eyes," the photographer said. "But I told him: 'We are your family and your friends. We are here for you.' " See more in “Heartbreaking Stories of Iraq's Orphans” on CNN: http://cnn.it/20qA91n
