　　 four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just lost her mother. Her pink clothes are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see.

　　Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see Iraqi children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following parents, carrying bags of almost the same size as their small bodies as they escape from their homes in Baghdad.

　　They show just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by ongoing war and the terrible price paid by Iraqi children.

　　“Dad, why are the Americans fighting against us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son of Abu Singer, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.

　　He tries to make him feel safe by saying,“The bombs are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We are going to be all right. ” Even though Abu knows it isn't always true, little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape from the sound of bombs. And all the schools are closed.

　　Now things are worse, and the ongoing war makes it impossible to count the number who are hungry, sick ,hurt or even dead.
