UNICEF: $37 mill. appeal to save vulnerable Iraqi children

AMMAN, Jordan, 12 February 2008 -- Iraq's children saw little respite from violence and instability in 2007. But help may be on the way. A consolidated appeal for Iraq will be launched today to help humanitarian organizations respond to widespread suffering and deprivation.

As part of this funding appeal, UNICEF is asking for $37 million to support vulnerable Iraqi children and families in 2008.The funds will enable UNICEF to expand its vital assistance -- including emergency health care, safe drinking water, sanitation, education and critical protective services -- to many children in Iraq who are not being helped.

In this video, Farrah (not her real name) talks about how her life has been affected by the ongoing conflict in Iraq.
