Somalia: Children affected by war

Submitted by crinadmin on Fri, 31/03/2006 - 10:46

Summary: The number of injured children is constantly increasing due to a fierce fighting among rival functions that is continuing in Mogadishu, Somalia for the third day.

Amina Sahra, an infant aged three months, is among many children admitted to Mogadishu hospitals in the last few days. She was badly injured by a straight missile while sleeping at her home.

Despite different appeals, fighting continues to this minute, and there is a little hope for a cease fire.

Apart from died/injured innocent children, other children fled their usual residents where the fighting is goi
