For the first photo, that is a Turkish Cypriot woman whose husband was killed during ethnic cleansing in the 60s and it was taken by Don McCullin.

For the second photo, I don't know who took it, but it is most likely Greek Cypriot children who were unlucky enough to be displaced by the war and did not have alternative places to live and had to like in camps run by the UN for months.

My great aunt (who was on her honeymoon in Varosha exactly when it got bombed) actually puts her Xmas tree TO THIS DAY in a shell (which I assume is naval) just like the ones those kids are using.

The events marked me as a child. Our relatives were cut off by the second August invasion, behind Turkish lines. Frantic contacts with Red Cross & UN to get news. Traumatic times which you cannot forget, even if you wanted to.
