Before the Iraq invasion, Ruth friend Co-Founder of the Ruth Group started a movement to understand Iraq and why does the US need to go to War with Iraq. With time that movement developed a network of people concerned about Iraq and led to there involvement with No More Victims. Ruth and Amy will talk about No More Victims and how did AACCSV help.
Ruth said: “When we began we knew we wanted to bring an Iraqi child to the Bay Area for medical care. We connected with “ No More Victims”, an organization dedicated to bringing children to the US who have been victims of US bombings. With our help No More Victims is now bringing Mustafa Ghazwan, a 2 year old who’s hearing was completely lost when a US percussive bomb went off near his home. He is due to arrive in July and we have work to do to make his complete care possible.”
No More Victims works to obtain medical sponsorships for war-injured Iraqi children and to forge ties between the children, their families and communities in the United States. We believe one of the most effective means of combating militarism is to focus on direct relief to its victims.
Rusul
You will wach a video about Salee Allawe’s little sister Rusul who was injured in the a US air strike of November of 2006 that took both of Salee’s legs. The girls’ brother Akram and several other children were playing outside their homes when the missiles struck. Akram was killed, as was Salee’s best friend.
