Youth with special needs attend a class at the Fakhri Dabbagh Centre in the eastern side of Iraq's northern city of Mosul on March 4, 2020. Mosul's few health centres treating youth with developmental disabilities had been shut for around four months to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus, which has infected more than 300,000 Iraqis and killed over 8,000, according to official figures. Hundreds of children diagnosed with various disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), were deprived of socialisation classes, speech training and physical therapy –- all described by doctors as essential.
