Haiydr, 11 years old, with his mother in the main pediatric hospital in Baghdad.  Haiydr has leukemia and (as of Jan, 2000) Iraqi doctors gave him just months to live.  He is an example of the seemingly invisible consequence of the U.S. led sanctions against Iraq.  Before the Gulf War, Iraq had one of the best health-care systems in the middle east, and could have treated Haiydr.  The U.S. does not allow Iraq to import enough medicines and equipment to help Haiydr.  Further, incidences of childhood leukemia and other cancers have skyrocketed since the Gulf War.  Doctors and scientists in Iraq and abroad point to the U.S. use of depleted uranium during the Gulf War as the main culprit in Iraq's unprecedented cancer rates.  (photo, Mark Schneider, 1/00)
