　　A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just become motherless. A few minutes ago, a big bombing（轰炸）happened near her home in the south of Iraq（伊拉克）.

　　Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same size as their small bodies as they quickly left their homes in Baghdad.

　　All this shows that some of the young lives have. been turned upside down by the war. And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.

　　In southern parts of the country, like the second largest city, Basra, the UN is working to repair the damage（损失）caused by the war. “We are working to provide clean water and get the electrical power to work again,” said Geoffrey Keele, a UN spokesman.

　　But little else can be done, in Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape the sound of bombing. And all the schools are closed. Some diseases break out among the children, sometimes leading to death.
