Iraqi Children 'Caught In Worsening Tragedy'

UNICEF said children make up half of the four million Iraqis who have fled their homes since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. 

UNICEF said international aid has been generous but insufficient to meet the growing needs of Iraqi children. 

UNICEF is appealing for $41.8 million over the next six months to provide vaccines, food, and clean water for children in Iraq and to help refugee children living outside Iraq
