In Iraq, women and children suffer far more than their male counterparts, according to NGOs and rights groups such as the Baghdad Centre for Human Rights Studies.

According to the Iraqi Ministry of Health, in years since the US-led occupation of the country began in 2003, children have become more vulnerable to diseases as Iraq's infrastructure has deteriorated, the economy has collapsed and supplies are limited.

"Thousands of children are displaced nowadays without medical support. Diarrhoea and dehydration have become common diseases among them and with a lack of medicine, what could be considered acute before is chronic today," Ahmed Waleed, media officer at the Ministry of Health, said. "The numbers presented by UNICEF show the critical condition the health system is in today in Iraq."


Iraqi boy Hudhar Zein, 11, is worried about his future. Since sectarian violence forced his family to flee their home in April 2006, he has lived in increasingly miserable conditions.

"Sometimes we need to divide the only available bread with six members of my family because we don't have money to buy more. I had to leave my school because my father cannot afford notebooks and pencils. And changing house from month to month makes it harder to stay in the same school," Zein said, adding that his father had recently lost his job.

1. Oh, leftchick, didn't you get the memo?

2. I hate "us". How could they not? We've done nothing but

make the lives of these Iraqis worse. Nice going, dimson.

3. Bush and Cheney are the real threat to the world and its people.

It's amazing how much damage can be done by just two evil men. Of course, if "we" hadn't voted them into power - twice - they wouldn't be able to continue destroying our nation, our world, and our planet.

I hope someone figures out a way to get rid of these criminals. Soon!

4. No one wonders why they hate us anymore n/t
