54 Families and Homes
When Emad Mohsin Jafar, a leader of Basra's oil workers' union, first went to work for the Southern Oil Company, the company gave him a metal shipping container to live in with his family. Today, the container still sits in the backyard of Mohsin's home, part storage and part reminder of how hard things used to be.
