Text two:

'Collateral Damage'

 

This is Fasima. As of this morning, she is an orphan. Fasima's family are counted as 'collateral damage' in the ongoing war in their country. In other words, they are innocent civilians who have been killed. I ask Fasima who actually caused the death of her parents. “I don't know,” she forlornly replies, “Nobody knows who started all this any more.” Fasima is not alone: there are thousands of children like her all around the world. She will probably end up in an orphanage. But not all children in her situation will have that option. Many will be put to work selling, stealing or worse.
