| The Collateral Repair Project in affiliation with International Humanities Center Diary from Exile - Iraqis share their thoughts & experiences as refugees |
About one month ago someone phoned me in
the morning...He told me that I should go to one
of the lazaretto (stores) to receive my portion of
food relief ...I asked him how he chose my family
to give us this since I didn't ask any
organization to assist us?...He said that the list
of names came from UNHCR. I went to this place
and took my husband's brother with me.to see
this view...many Iraqi's families were standing
for more than 2 hours in front of the opening of
the big door, waiting for some food as
beggars...i was one of these families.
I was remembering our lives in Iraq when I was
as the princess and now, I feel that every
person waiting for food is a copy of me. .for this
reason, I sent you these photos to show the
world the suffering of the Iraqi families who had
one of the richest countries in the world...
