Progress report

With Iraq's internally displaced people now numbering more than a million conditions for the country's children continue to deteriorate with poor sanitation and lack of potable water exposing tens of thousands of young Iraqis to risk of suffering and disease. Poor nutrition and lack of shelter are also critical problems. As to education I reckon you can guess.

The good news is that plenty of fresh flowers have been made available with which these otherwise idle youngsters can shower the occupying liberating foreign troops.
