A four-year-old girl is lying in the arm of a doctor. She has just become motherless. A few minutes ago,

a big bombing(轰炸) happened near her home in the south of Iraq.

    Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children asking 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 grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same

size as their small bodies as they quickly left their home in Baghdad.

    All this shows that some of the young lives have been turned upside down by the war. And they show

the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.

    In southern parts of the country,like the second largest city,Basra,the UN is working to repair the

damage(毁坏) caused by the war. "We are working to provide clean water and get the electrical power

to work again , "said Geoffrey Keele , a UN spokesman.

    But little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them

escape the sound of bombing.And all the schools are closed. Some diseases break out among the

children, sometimes leading to death.

Nearly 50 % of the Iraqi population, which is over 20 million, is under 15 years old. And 30% of them

are suffering(遭受) from malnutrition(营养不良).
