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.




Russian school children killed by violence ....






Two brothers console each other after losing their little sister...




Russian little boy killed by bomb in his school




Another little girl victim of war





A little boy who should be safe and NOT hurt







A child who was full of dreams and now is dead...war is WRONG




A medic trying to save a little boy's leg, another victim of the imbecility of men




A whole generation, that will only remember violence....




What will he grow up to be?




Instead of being in school, these children are playing among the chaos....




Total indiference to a huge fire...he has seen it all




Unicef wants safe houses to be provided for trafficked children




The pain of a teen with AIDS and NO meds





Both of her children dead....




Total shock in the face of this little boy...




Blinded, no arm, no hand and only 8 years old ....




Or you need to see both legs gone, before you stop the war?





Is this bad enough for you? Are you going to work for peace?




A little boy victim of the Afganistan war , what if he was your little brother?







Some of the 3000 homeless Ukrainian children sniffing glue instead of eating





Street children in NY many drug addicts and HIV positive




Street children of Ukraine, sniffing glue and living under sewers most are HIV positive





Child labor persists in many countries...





Afraid after all they have seen...




Orphans now, all alone they wait for help




Arriving at the hospital with two more little victims




An innocent poor little girl celebrates her birthday by jumping on a dump sofa




A terrified little girl forced to marry an old man





A little girl hurt in a car bomb explosion




A little innocent girl hit by bullets, cries all alone






Family members mourn a little girl, victim of violence





He has to help Dad get dressed..
