Just getting your attention: THE CHILDREN ARE THE VICTIMS

Another little one hurt....

Abdul Hakeem
April 9, 2004, 11:00 pm - Abdul Hakeem was asleep at home when mortar rounds fired by US forces rained down on his family's home. The attack occurred during the First Siege of Fallujah. His mother suffered abdominal and chest injuries and has undergone five major operations. His older brother and sister were also injured in the attack, and his unborn sister was killed

Omar
January 9th, 2006 - Omar was traveling from Mosul to Baghdad with his mother, father, and brother to celebrate Eid. Near Samarra, their passenger vehicle came under fire from US forces. Omar's mother was killed. The driver and two other passengers also died at the scene.
Omar was severely burned and needs extensive reconstructive surgery. He's receiving medical treatment in Boston, thanks to the hard work of local volunteers and the generosity of Children's Hospital.

Salee (Sally)
November 7, 2006 – Hasswa, Iraq: Salee, a nine-year-old girl, was playing outside her home with her brother, cousin and some friends. US jets circled overhead. Suddenly the jets fired three missiles, apparently at passenger vehicles. One missile landed where the children were playing, scattering her brother and best friend across the ground and taking both of Salee's legs.
Salee and her father have arrived in Greenville, South Carolina, and her treatment is underway. Her surgery was a complete success, and she's being fitted with prosthetics. These medical services were unavailable to her in Iraq.
Thanks to the generosity of Shriner's Hospital and the hard work of community organizers Ann Cothran, Selena Franks, and the Upstate Coalition of Compassion, Salee is at last receiving the medical care she so urgently needs. She and her father are also deeply grateful to Robert Greenwald, producer Paris Marron, Brave New Films and Brave New Foundation for their generosity and support.

Asraa' Mizyad
Asraa' Mizyad was severely injured in a US missile attack on the morning of January 25, 1999. She had just finished a test at the Al Najed primary school and was walking home from school with two friends and a cousin when the missile struck. Her friends and her cousin were killed; Asraa' was the most severely injured survivor of the attack. A large piece of shrapnel severed her right arm below the shoulder and she suffered chest and abdominal wounds. A metal fragment remains lodged in her skull, a souvenir of the American empire; doctors could not remove it for fear of killing her. Asraa' was nine years old.
