"Around 1,350 children are estimated to be detained in various Iraqi jails for conflict with the law, Unicef officials said in Dubai yesterday. Launching the Arabic version of the annual Humanitarian Action Report (HAR) in Dubai, Sigrid Kaag, Unicef's regional director for the Middle East and North Africa, also called for strategic partnerships and flexible funding to enhance emergency response in the region. “As of 2007, there are estimates that about 900 to 1,350 children may have been detained in Iraqi jails for conflict with the law. We are trying to determine who these kids are and where they are. We are concerned about the protection of children and children's rights, especially of those who are in conflict with the law," Kaag told reporters after the launch of the report."
