Haifa’a was shot in the face by members of a militia in Baghdad as a result of her failure to abide by the new restrictions they had placed on women’s behavior in her neighborhood.

Hussein is a four-year-old boy, diagnosed with Hirschsprung’s Disease (HD), a serious, congenital illness which causes chronic constipation and severe discomfort, and can slow physical development. Children with HD are born without some or all of the nerves in the large intestine that are necessary for elimination. Left untreated, HD can cause infection, a ruptured colon, and death.

DAI has a new home
After several months of our web presence being hosted solely at ElectronicIraq.net, DAI has branched out and set up its own website to allow more ease-of-use and opportunities to connect with supporters of this effort. We will remain closely involved with EIraq, and hope visitors to this site will check out that site for great Iraq news & analysis you won’t find anywhere else, as well as a roundup of the most important news of the day.
