A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just lost her mother. Her pink clothes are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see.

Every day we see pictures like this on TV. We see Iraqi（伊拉克的）children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers when they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following parents, carrying bags of almost the same as their small bodies when they escape from their homes in Baghdad.

They show just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by ongoing war.

“Dad, why are the Americans fighting against us? Are we going to be killed ?” asked the son of Abu, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain（解釋）this war to his eight-year-old son.

He tries to make him feel safe by saying, “The bombs（炸彈）are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We’re going to be all right.” Even though Abu knows it isn’t always true, nothing else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape from the sound of bombs. And all the schools are closed.

Now things are worse, and the ongoing war makes it impossible to count the number who are hungry, sick, hurt or even dead.

　　Mrs Weeks was reading a newspaper story to her class. The story said：Were you ever in a hospital when you were small? How did you feel? The doctors in Children's Hospital are asking for money for children's toys. Some children in the hospital must stay in bed for many weeks. Toys are needed to keep the sick children happy and quiet. Money for them can be sent to the hospital.

　　After Mrs Weeks read the story, she said, “This story gave me an idea.”

　　“You want us to bring some money for the toys.” “We could bring some of our own toys to the children in the hospital,” said the boys and the girls one after another.

　　“We could make some toys,” shouted one of them.
