The UAE is funding the project by donating $50 million to Unesco
Reconstruction work on the airport in Iraqi city of Mosul. All photos by AFP
An aerial picture shows the size of the project
The international airport was severely damaged during the 2017 battle to liberate Mosul from ISIS
It has not been used since the extremists overran the city in 2014
Iraq was given control of the airport in 2011. It had been under the control of US troops after the 2003 invasion
For years, the airport was used as an airfield for Iraqi forces, especially in the 1970s
Iraq is also building another international airport in the northern city of Kirkuk
Life has largely returned to normal after ISIS were driven out of Mosul, with hops, schools and universities reopening
International organisations have funded a project to restore historic sites
The project will reconstruct the famous Al Nuri Mosque and two other churches
