Khitam Hamad, 12, whose face and body was burned after a car bomb, stands in a hallway during a class with other young victims of Iraq violence at a program operated by Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) on July 28, 2011 in Amman, Jordan. Khitam, who is from the Iraqi city of Fallujah was injured following a car bomb as she was walking with her sister. MSF has been running a reconstructive-surgery program for war-wounded Iraqis since August 2006. The program, which helps Iraqis irrespective of age or ethnic/religious background, has thus far attended to roughly 1,500 cases. MSF was forced to pull out of Iraq in 2004 due to the escalating violence in the country. Following the years of violence in the country, the state of medical care in Iraq is poor. There is a chronic shortage of doctors and nurses and much of the country's hospitals are using outdated and damaged equipment. By Spencer Platt/Getty Images.
