28% of Iraqi children are malnourished

92% of Iraqi children suffer learning problems

4 million Iraqis cannot regularly buy food

70% with inadequate water supply

More than 2 million people (mostly woman and children) are displaced in Iraq

More than 2 million have become refugees (fleeing to Syria and Jordan)
