The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) issued a stark warning today that the most vulnerable of Iraq's children may not have the strength to survive the impact of war.
With war in Iraq perhaps mere days away, the head of the United Nations refugee agency has urged the international community not to forget the fear, destruction, loss of innocent lives and desperation faced by those fleeing their homes.
The withdrawal of United Nations personnel from Iraq was completed today, with workers that had been monitoring Iraqi oil exports evacuated with the full cooperation of the country's authorities, according to a UN spokesman.
With the threat of war looming over Iraq, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is racing to bolster the chances of survival for over 400,000 malnourished children across the country by providing high protein food.
