It was in April, 1998 to meet Safaa, who gets leukemia five years ago.
She left in the door in the Mansur infant educational hospital.
She showed a wonderful smile when there was a glance with me.
The wind blows promptly immediately after several shutters were released that, and her scarf has been taken off.
Only the hair like the downy hair has grown in her head.
It is a side effect of the medicine of leukemia.
Mother who was attending her, “My daughter doesn't leave hospital since she recovered. Because of the lack of the medicine, so she leaves reluctantly hospital.” said sadly.
The ward done specializing in the treatment of children with leukemia and the cancer that kept increasing after the Gulf War was installed in the infantile diseases academy of two nationals in Baghdad.
It is said that the cause is depleted uranium munitions of radioactive arms that the U.S.-Britain army used for the first time in the 1st Gulf War. It burns by frictional heat when going into the inside when depleted uranium munitions hit the target such as tanks, and the oxide of the uranium floats on air.
This does entering internal to the inside of the body.
The uranium has chemical toxicity as the heavy metal at the same time.
It is risked due to Cab and a metallic poison.
It was used in large quantities in the Iraq war last year.
Iraq has sunk into an irreparable situation by pollution of depleted uranium used 13 years ago and this war.
Children in Iraq invaded by leukemia and cancer will be striking a note of warning in human race's future.

Inside hospital education class September 05, 2006 8:30 AM
Iraqi doctors are eager in education for children in hospital who can't go to school for curing. We are taught the meaning of education even if they have heavy desease and don't have future.
(Hanin,pleasing when she could write her name first time,taught by her mother.)
Her name is Hanin.The meaning is "tender". As the name,she was so kind and caring girl.
She was infant cancer caused from DU used by US and England millitary.
She cared feeling her mother and people who concerned about her.
Once she became good condition and she could discharged. She drow pictures and felt happy because her mother became to stop greaving.
But suddenly,she was dead in this winter.
The way of her death was difficulty of breath, the most suffering way.
She was studied in hospital hard.The inportance of education for such children is realized by them. She played by dolle and injected for the doll. She memorized the way doctor did naturally. And she palyed the way realate to hospital.
The middle girl is Aya.She is infant cancer and cut her one leg.But she is very fine and has strong mind.Her dream is to be teacher of physical education. She may be able to participate in Paralympic in the futre...!
This is very touching, and it puts a "face" on the War Crimes and Atrocities committed in Iraq by the U.S., and its use of Depleted Uranium -- a true Weapon of Mass Destruction.
Thank you for caring these children!
Many Iraqi children can't go to hospital or continue to go to hospital because to cure leukemia or infant cancer needs much money.
Iraqi parents sell furniture, all things of their life but still need money...
My NGO,"Japan Iraq Medical Network" is thinking to make suponsership for that.
But now,the first thing is spread this truth to many people...
Japanese government,who sent self-diffence(?) army to Iraq don't tell this truth,so media don't tell this at all.
Let's spread this imformation and gather donation as mush as we can...!
We have to send love to Iraqi children instead of missile and viollence.
