Iraq's Lost Generation (2021x11)

Data di messa in onda: Mag 18, 2021

There are about a hundred thousand children, left to their own devices after the fighting against Daech. They are orphans wandering the streets of Mosul, but also "children of Daech", those whose families have pledged allegiance to the caliphate, and who no longer have a legal existence. Without papers, they have no access to school, medical care or food aid. There are also tens of thousands of children locked up in camps after the fall of Daech, along with the most radicalized women, in catastrophic humanitarian conditions, further weakened by the Covid-19 crisis. An unpublished investigation on a generation of children victims of the war against the Islamic State. How can we help them regain faith in the future and a place in society, and prevent them from becoming a threat to the international community?
