Iraqis 'fleeing rising violence'
| Why is there still so much civilian violence when so many people are fleeing from Iraq? Earlier this week the Baghdad government estimated that about 300,000 people had been internally displaced since February but where are they going? They are living in Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, the Gulf States and Europe. Some of them have left their homes but have not left Iraq. "The estimate now is something around 50,000 people per month are joining the growing numbers of internally displaced inside Iraq," Mr. Redmond said. I think the reason for the high number of people still in Iraq is because they don’t know where to go. The have seen so many horrible things but where can they go they don’t know who can help them or who will try to hurt them. I hope that we can help these innocent people find homes and jobs but most importantly to keep them safe. How would we feel if we had to leave our homes for our safety but didn’t know where to go? Mexico and Canada can only take in so many so what would we do. The people of Iraq have done nothing wrong so we should not let them suffer but offer our helping hand and end the war on terrorism. |
