Ticking bomb of Iraq’s forgotten refugee children Living in squalor and fearful of sectarian attack, the plight of 2.5m homeless people is at the heart of the nation’s ills :: www.uruknet.info :: informazione dall'Iraq occupato :: news from occupied Iraq :: - it: "THE children in Qawala camp are grubby, bundled up in as many clothes as their parents can find to ward off wintry temperatures in the tents on a rubbish dump in northern Iraq that they now call home. They wrap their feet in plastic bags to walk through the mud to school.

Their plight is the untold story of Iraq — of families who were forced to flee for their lives when sectarian fighting between Sunnis and Shi’ites erupted in 2006 after Al-Qaeda bombed the Golden Mosque, a revered Shi’ite sanctuary in Samarra."
