What it was like to live through the war in Iraq
On 20 March 2003, US and allied forces invaded Iraq and toppled Saddam Hussein's regime.
Tamara Al Attia was a 15-year-old schoolgirl at the time and lived through the invasion and its aftermath.
She shares her memories of the start of the invasion and the long-term effects that it had on her country with Newshour.
