Iraq’s Children Abandoned on World Health Day
April 7 of each year marks the date on which the World Health Organization (WHO) celebrates World Health Day. This year’s theme, “Healthy Environments for Children”, highlights the fact that each year more than 5 million children aged 0-14 die from diseases and other conditions caused by the environments in which they live

Inssanah,
a) Your link’s broken.
b) Comparing the text above the link and that below it, I’d say you simply C&P’d an Islam Online press release in here.
While we quote sections of outside materials we’re citing, standard behavior here is for posters to make their own arguments in their own words, and cite other sources as needed for factual support.
Other than that, welcome.

First, The improved english is good! The presentation of intellect and opinion is great!
Posting large amounts of copyrighted work is not good. Especially without adding your own comments.

But I’m sure a mod will be along to mention that. They’ll probably also mention that sigs aren’t supposed to be very long.
But, in an attempt to help this one, what do you have to say about the article you are sharing? What did you get from it? What are worried about? who do you blame for it? What discussion do you want to participate in?

They should move it to August then. Things should be cleaned up by then. That would also get it further away from Earth Day.
More seriously, April 7th was before the war was over! How is that even relevant?
