Description:
Taban Kakil (11) stands by a fence around her house. She studies in grade 5 in a nearby school that provides education up to grade 9 in the village of Kanikhan, about 65 Km west of Sulemania, a major city in the Northern Iraq (Kurdistan). "I have many friends and I intend to complete the school and go to collage for further education. I would like to become a teacher. War? People fight and kill each other. Its awful and I hate the word. I lost one of my cousin in when Sadam Hussain bombed Kurdish people in the North.".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.
