HORRIFIC HUMAN SUFFERING IN THIS INSANE WAR
SHE could be asleep. In her flannel pyjama bottoms and 101 Dalmatians top, her eyes gently closed, little Sarah looks like any other seven-year-old. Except she is lying on a stainless steel mortuary tray, another victim of this bloody war. She had just finished breakfast and was playing with her brother and sisters on Friday when her life was violently stolen. Her mum Shafaa was washing the dishes, happy that her Baghdad home was ringing to the sound of children's laughter, until a huge explosion knocked her to the floor. After the shock had subsided, she saw "blood splattered against the walls" and her four babies lying silently in the rubble. As she tried to wake them, she discovered that shrapnel had taken off the back of Sarah's head and half the face of her son Karrad, six. Both were dead. Her two other babes, three-year-old son Sajad and two-year-old daughter, Sajud, were taken to hospital and are yet to wake up.Nice Posted by: Murat 2003-03-31 |
