In war and peace children are always amongst the most vulnerable of communities.

Iraq has been no exception.

In this episode, Alive in Baghdad takes you to the children's ward of Baghdad Hospital, to make visible the plight of some very sick children, stricken with cancer by the presence of Depleted Uranium munitions, left over from the last to US wars in Iraq.

Despite official claims that so-called "Depleted" Uranium is mostly harmless, evidence continues to mount to the contrary. Rates of cancer and deformities in Iraq's children have sky-rocketed since 1991.

Here are just a few of their stories.

  • There is depleted ...

    There is depleted uranium in Iraq because the US government chooses to pretend thatits use on weaponry only causes the arms to be better able to penetrate tanks, buildings etc. They choose to ignore the danger to humans, most especially children. After all, to the US government, ie GWB & gang, if you're not an "amurrican" you have no real value.

    depleted uranium (DU)is used in armor piercing bullets but there is no reason to believe they could cause this DU bullets were used in Kosovo w/ no increase in leukemia or these other conditions there are too many other factors in Iraq which are a more likely cause

    I would like all the war profiteers and Western business inside Iraq to take a look at this video. To look into the eyes of these innocent children and ask themselves is it worth it.

  • A Prayer Merciful ...

    A Prayer

    Merciful God, creator of all things open the eyes of these people who suffer under their own belief. Who do not know that it is a blessing, demonstrated every day, as a true blessing to know you. Their understanding should know that man was not created to suffer, but to live life in a abundance and that their suffering is not of the Lord.

    The kid at the end cried, if you noticed and she kept trying to cover her stomach. You should look carefully at their body language.

    What political or personal statements? Quote me one political/personal statement from the beginning of the video. All of it was statistics and facts. You may not like those facts because they go against your ideology but that doesn't make them false.

    Actually I donate to help all children. And I especially feel bad for the young Iraqis. Things will get better now that Saddam is out of power and money can go to food and medicine where it was intended and not weapons. I wish them well.
    God Bless Iraq.

    If you are going to report on this, keep the personal bias out.
    Because of such political statements in the beginning of this video, I have chosen to withdraw from my decision to consider donating to the production of this series.

  • I think it's ...

    I think it's disgusting how those kids are forced to be filmed and talked about as if they are some "things" and not people, especially that child in the end. She was struggling to cover herself and cried. You are making those kids' life more miserable. You should obtain their permission before you film them. I'm pro revealing the realities of life in Iraq but do it professionally to maintain your credibility!
