From the Project: Save the children"
The war in Iraq and the use of deplected uranium weapons.
1 - Ameriya Shelter: A cruise missile with a DU warhead hit the shelter on February 13, 1991. The 1500 people, mostly children were burned alive inside the shelter. The shelter is being preserved as a memorial.
2 - Falah Hussein (age 20): When a U.S. dud bomb suddenly exploded, he lost his right leg. Two years later, he contracted bone cancer that spread to his lung. His doctor predicted he wouldn't survive another two weeks.
3 - Dying baby in hospital
Juwad has lost 550g in four month since his birth. His parents were unable to buy milk for him. He suffered from heavy diarrhea due to malnutrition. The hospital had almost no antibiotics available. Babies with low resistance are highly susceptible to infectious disease. Many fail to escape death.
