Coronavirus: Back to school in Iraq

Schools in Iraq have re-opened fully for the first time since February, when they closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. 10 million children will now resume their education, with each grade going in one day a week. Hadiya lives in a refugee camp with her two children, two-year-old Aran and seven-year-old Soma. She and Soma explained what the first day back at school was like.
