Addressing Iraq's Water Crisis
 Cholera outbreaks sweep through Iraq every year, rendering thousands sick and many more dead in a matter of months. The disease spreads via unsafe water supplies and poorly-functioning waste management systems; years of neglect, mismanagement and conflict have left Iraq's water and sanitation systems dilapidated and decaying.
Past, Present and Future of Iraqi Health Care
 As the conflict in Iraq continues into its sixth year, the primary international focus appears to be on the politics of withdrawal. For civilians unable to flee to a neighboring country, daily life remains a challenge, with improvements to key infrastructures, particularly quality health care facilities, coming at a snail's pace.
Charities Address Unique Needs of Children in Iraq
 Childhood should be a time for games and for laughter. For many Iraqi children, it has meant fleeing their homes amidst death and violence. Their lives have been turned upside down, and all that is familiar and comforting has been lost. Member charities are helping them recover with child-friendly spaces, where children can establish routines that allow them to regain a sense of security.
