Christina Lamb is Chief Foreign Correspondent for the Sunday Times and has covered wars from Iraq to Libya, Angola to Syria and repression from Eritrea to Zimbabwe. Her writing particularly highlights the effects of war on women and children – the girls abducted by Boko Haram in Nigeria, Yazidi sex slaves in Iraq, and the plight of Afghan women. She’s perhaps best known for her bestselling books I Am Malala, The Girl from Aleppo and Our Bodies, Their Battlefield. There is a short extract from Cecilia McDowall’s and Kevin Crossley-Holland’s cantata about Nujeen Mustafa’s flight from Syria with her sister, Nasrine.
