The ornate wooden doorways and crumbling facades of buildings are still untouched by the redevelopment which is altering the face of Tbilisi.

With its 17-centuries-old citadel, Orthodox churches, decorated columns and balconied houses, Old Tbilisi exudes the charm of an ancient Eurasian crossroads.

With mortar shells exploding all around, an Iraqi soldier passed one small boy of probably no more than seven through the hole unconscious, his head lolling back, his gaunt-looking body unnaturally hot.Tim, our security adviser, received him and, fearing the boy was suffering from dangerous heat stroke, carried him across the broken ground to find shade.

The boy came round and started crying, and soldiers came to pour water on his head, chest and feet to cool him down.He gulped at the sips they gave him to drink as they found him a blue-coloured rug to lie on.

I kept shooting pictures of fleeing civilians, many scared of being shot by Islamic State like others before them. About 100 emerged through the hole while we were there.

We don't know what eventually happened to the infant.
