A man walks outside al-Qurain Martyr's Museum, home to a battle which lasted 10 hours between invading Iraqi troops and a group of Kuwaiti fighters during the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait, in Kuwait City on July 27, 2020. Thirty years have passed since Iraqi tyrant Saddam Hussein invaded neighbouring Kuwait, but despite hints of a diplomatic rapprochement, people both countries say the wounds have yet to heal. On August 2, 1990, Saddam sent his military, already exhausted by an eight-year conflict with Iran, into Kuwait to seize what he dubbed "Iraq's 19th province." The two-day operation turned into a seven-month occupation and, for many Iraqis, opened the door to 30 years of devastation which is still ongoing. YASSER AL-ZAYYAT / AFP

News and information from the 1918 Spanish Flu is prominently displayed at the Bisbee Museum in Bisbee, Arizona on July 24, 2020. "Gone but Not Forgotten." So reads the tombstone of Carl Axel Carlson, who died of the Spanish Flu in 1918. The train that carried his body home to Bisbee brought the deadly flu with it. More than a century later this once flourishing Arizona mining town, now visited by tourists and home to hippies and retirees, is struggling to survive a new deadly pandemic. Frederic J. BROWN / AFP

People waves a Turkish national flag (front) and a flag with the Turkey Coat of arms of the Ottoman Empire Tughra, as they celebrate outside the Hagia Sophia museum on July 10, 2020 in Istanbul after a top Turkish court revoked the sixth-century Hagia Sophia's status as a museum, clearing the way for it to be turned back into a mosque. The Council of State, the country's highest administrative court which on July 2 debated a case brought by a Turkish NGO, cancelled a 1934 cabinet decision and ruled the UNESCO World Heritage site would be reopened to Muslim worshipping. The sixth-century Istanbul building -- a magnet for tourists -- has been a museum since 1935, open to believers of all faiths thanks to a cabinet decision stamped by modern Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
