100 Children Die Daily in Iraq

In one month, 3000 children died in Iraq; on average, that is 100 per day. Though many are innocent victims of incessant clashes, most succumb to malnourishment and unsanitary living conditions.

The shortage of drugs and modern equipment is worse than when Saddam Hussein was in power - when international embargoes isolated the country.

Shells and shrapnel, grenades and bombs are other factors affecting the health of children. According to disclosures from the Health Care Ministry, children are suffering from diseases that were never reported before the war. Rimad Cuburi, a doctor in one of the country's largest children's hospitals, said the ailments arouse from some of the American weaponry.

Meanwhile, in the Sadr City section of Baghdad, clashes between Moqtada Al-Sadr's militia and American forces restarted with 34 deaths and 174 injuries. One American soldier is among the dead.
