China Journal website news: In any war, women and children are the most vulnerable groups. Since the outbreak of the Iraq war, UNICEF has been actively in the forefront of helping Iraqi children. Bellamy, executive director of UNICEF, said on April 1 that although all international staff of the United Nations are not allowed to enter Iraq under current conditions, local employees of UNICEF have not stopped the rescue operation.
Bellamy said: "In northern Iraq, the staff of UNICEF Iraq Company have been working in temporary shelters. They help coordinate the clinic to have enough medicines and provide extra food for Iraqi children suffering from diarrhea or other diseases. As we all know, the United Nations is negotiating with relevant parties, and international staff will return to Iraq as soon as ground safety conditions permit. "
Iraqi children have been shot since the war broke out. Bellamy, director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), said that the disaster brought by the war to Iraqi children goes far beyond these specific casualties.
Bellamy: "There is no doubt that this war has had a serious psychological and health impact on Iraqi children. Witnessing the cruelty of war cast a shadow on children's psychology, and the education that was forced to be interrupted would affect the growth of Iraqi children. I call on all parties to the conflict to understand the urgency and necessity of humanitarian relief, create conditions for humanitarian workers, and avoid harming civilian targets as much as possible.
