You are watching UNICEF television. 00:00:00
Her Majesty Queen Rania, UNICEF's eminent advocate for children, announces a call to 00:00:03
action for Iraqi children in Amman, Jordan. 00:00:08
It is time to throw a lifeline to Iraqi children, those facing the violence in Iraq and those 00:00:11
now sheltering in Jordan and Syria. 00:00:18
Today's launch of UNICEF's report on Iraqi children in Iraq and neighboring countries 00:00:21
tells a painful story. 00:00:25
Faced as we are with a daily barrage of bad news, some might feel that the situation is 00:00:27
hopeless. 00:00:33
But stepping up support right now in Iraq and in neighboring countries is not only possible, 00:00:34
it is also the best way to protect Iraq's future, its children. 00:00:39
Aid does get through, it does reach children, and it does make a difference even in unsafe 00:00:44
areas. 00:00:50
This is a critical moment for children caught in the violence. 00:00:51
Last week, children became this year's first victims of cholera in Iraq, and we dread a 00:00:55
major outbreak of this disease in the heat of the summer. 00:01:00
Less than 30 percent of Iraqi children have access to a glass of safe drinking water. 00:01:04
And insecurity in many areas makes it increasingly perilous to even try to reach health services. 00:01:10
Up to one in ten Iraqis is suffering from acute malnutrition. 00:01:17
Meanwhile, some classrooms stand empty as violence keeps children in their homes, while 00:01:22
other classrooms are grossly overcrowded. 00:01:27
The school year is about to end, and many children have not learned enough to progress 00:01:30
into the next grade. 00:01:35
The long-term costs of poor health and lost education are hard to quantify, but are certain 00:01:37
to be paid by future generations unless there is swift action. 00:01:43
Children make up half of the four million people who have fled Iraq since 2003, and 00:01:48
many of them are now here in Jordan and in Syria. 00:01:53
Many live in communities that were impoverished long before these children arrived, and where 00:01:56
social services are now stretched to a breaking point. 00:02:01
Despite the extreme problems, there is still cause for optimism. 00:02:06
A recent immunization campaign supported by UNICEF, WHO, the Iraqi government, and the 00:02:10
European Commission, for example, saw courageous health workers going door-to-door to protect 00:02:16
3.6 million children against measles, mumps, and rubella. 00:02:21
UNICEF requires $42 million to provide and protect the services children so desperately 00:02:26
need if they are to survive and develop. 00:02:33
Plans are in place to reach children in Iraq, even in violent districts, with basic health, 00:02:36
water, sanitation, and education. 00:02:42
And here in Jordan and in Syria, UNICEF will help governments provide social services for 00:02:45
growing numbers of Iraqi children, aiming to get them into the classrooms, keep them 00:02:51
healthy, and protect them from exploitation. 00:02:56
What children need above all is a resolution to this crisis. 00:03:00
That has to be our ultimate hope. 00:03:04
For many Iraqi children, the long-term future may be unclear, but their present needs for 00:03:07
education, for health care, for clean water and proper sanitation are clear and must be 00:03:12
met now. 00:03:18
Thank you all very much. 00:03:19
