At Least 95 Wounded Children Hospitalised in Baghdad
and Basra
MOSCOW, April 1. At least 95 wounded children have
been hospitalised in Baghdad and Basra. As a Rosbalt correspondent
reports, this was announced at a press conference today by leading
Russian paediatrician Professor Leonid Roshal, quoting Iraqi Ambassador
to Russia Abbas Khalaf. The professor said that the exact number of
wounded children is not known but that the actual figure could be
somewhat higher. 'We hope that the exact figures will be provided by the
International Red Cross, which is now working in Baghdad and Basra. They
should know how many children have been hurt and how many of them need
to be transported from the area,' the professor added. According to
Professor Roshal, the population of Baghdad is about 5 million, of which
up to 40% are children. This means there are about 2 million children
living in Baghdad.
