Help and Hope for Iraqi Refugee Children

 

                 >>




Among the more than four million people uprooted by the crisis in Iraq are hundreds of thousands of desperate children who have lost homes, relatives, friends, and all else that was once safe and familiar. Children in Iraq live in a state of constant fear and the daily violence keeps many from going to school and doing other normal activities. For those who have fled across borders, there are other challenges, including limited chances to resume education. Wherever they are, the violence and displacement has left deep scars.

The IRC’s Melissa Winkler was recently in Jordan where many Iraqis have sought refuge. She reports on the situation for shell-shocked children who settled there and the IRC’s efforts to deliver help and hope.
