- Description: Shuruq Habash, 15, sitting on the floor of their bathroom, washes dirty dishes at their rented house in the Al Basra-al Qadima (ancient city) neighbourhood of the southern city of Basra. Shuruq is in sixth grade at the Al-Huda Primary School for Girls. She lives with her mother and two of her siblings. Their father abandoned the family and the mother works as a cleaner at a school where she earns 11,000 Iraqi dinars a month (less than US $5). Shuruq also helps her mother clean the school, does domestic work for an older woman (earning 10,000 dinars a month) and helps with chores at home..Additional Info:.Until January 2003, the situation of children and women in Iraq remains critical. One million children under five in southern and central Iraq continue to suffer from chronic malnutrition. Some 60 per cent of the entire population depend on monthly Government food rations, making them extremely vulnerable to any disruption in these supplies in the event of conflict. Widespread poverty and crumbling infrastructure, the result of years of conflict and 12 years of international economic sanctions, have affected all sectors, including massive deterioration of the country's water and sanitation systems.
