The butcher of Khalakan

Ali is 13 years old and he arrived in Khalakan, in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, at the beginning of 2015, after his family escaped the fighting between ISIS and the Iraqi army in Salahaddin province, Iraq. He now finds himself forced by circumstances to work as a butcher together with his young friend Emad, earning as little as 2.5USD per day and having to take care of his entire family, since he's the only one that works.
