Locations in Iraq
UNICEF reports that sanctions imposed in 1990 resulted in 1.3 million deaths of which 600,000 were children. One in three families are now headed by women. Fewer than 20 years ago, Iraq was reported to be the most literate country in the Middle East. Many children have had to withdraw from school to work and support their families.
This twelve year old boy has left school. He dismantles downed Iraqi fighter jets to support his family. Another child without a childhood.
