How the children of Iraqi refugees are coping.
There are now up to 2 million Iraqi refugees flooding across the border to escape the sectarian violence there. Many are going to Jordan which is struggling to cope logistically with the influx of approaching one million people.
Last week we reported on the plight of some of the Iraqi women refugees. In the second of Kati Whitaker’s reports, we hear the stories of some of the children - who make up twenty-five percent of the refugees and who also suffer because their families lack of official refugee status.
One of the children Kati met in Amman earlier this year was 9 year old Fawaz. His family fled to Jordan after he was abducted and held for 21 days, when he was only 6 years old. |
