Children in Iraq: CNN reports from an Iraqi kindergarten

Today CNN reports about the lives of children in Iraq. The story portrays the many challenges that kids face on a daily basis.
Here's some highlights from the story:

  • Nearly 15 percent of Iraq's total population has fled their homes
  • Half of the nearly 4 million displaced Iraqis are children
  • Only 30 percent of Iraq's children have access to safe water
