Children of Gaza: Scarred and Trapped
Omsyatte adjusts her green school uniform and climbs gingerly on to a desk at the front of the classroom.

UN Report: 346 Afghan children killed in 2009, mostly by NATO
Largest portion of killings came in air strikes. When the record 2009 civilian death toll began to emerge, NATO was quick to brag that they had actually killed fewer civilians than the Taliban.

Marjah civilians run out of food
With a month of advance notice of the massive NATO invasion, Marjah’s civilian population had ample opportunity to slip away. But while a few thousand families managed to get out of the agricultural region, most stayed, apparently reassured by NATO’s urging to “stay put” through the offensive. But those who didn’t flee..
