- Description: Sukna Abdul Noor sells vegetables for a living in Al Alawi neighbourhood in Baghdad in Iraq. She is a widow, but has six grown up children, all of them boys. Her sons are day labourers and their income are irregular depending on the work. As often there wasnt enough food to go around, and Suknas grand children had to go to sleep hungry, she decided to help her children. Now she sells vegetables in Al Alawi and earn 1500 Iraqi dinars (US$ 1.00 = 2500 Iraqi Dinars) per day..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.
