The following United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) report, Little respite for Iraq’s children in 2007, describes the current situation concerning children in Iraq.
Excerpt:
An estimated two million children in Iraq continue to face threats including poor nutrition, disease and interrupted education. Iraqi children were frequently caught in the crossfire of conflict throughout 2007. Insecurity and displacement continues to cause hardship for many in the most insecure parts of the country and further eroded access to quality essential services country-wide. Iraq remains volatile; however conditions begin to allow for more a concerted effort to deliver assistance.
