ان "حالات الاصابة بسرطان الدم (<a title="اللوكيميا" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130729030849/http://www.iraq-beituna.net/show.php?sho=25194" class="external" target="_blank">اللوكيميا</a>) بين الاطفال دون 15 عاما، ارتفعت اربعة اضعاف".</p> <p>واكدت خلال الاحتفالية التي حضرها اباء وامهات الاطفال الذين فقد بعضهم شعر رأسه بسبب العلاج الكيمياوي، ان "معظم الحالات خطيرة، ما يعني ان املهم ضعيف بالبقاء على قيد الحياة".</p> <p>واشارت الطبيبة الى ان المستشفى الذي افتتح رسميا الخميس، بدعم دولي كان يعمل بشكل جزئي لعدة اشهر" قبل ذلك.</p> <p>وقالت "افتتاح المستشفى انجاز مهم. اشكر جميع الذين ساعدوا من اجل بنائه".</p> <p>واضافت انه "انجاز جيد جدا، لكننا ما زلنا بحاجة الى معدات متطورة ومختبرات وادوية كثيرة، نامل الحصول عليها لاحقا".</p> <p>وما زالت المستشفى لا تمتلك المعدات الطبية لمساعدة المرضى وبينهم منتظر ابن الثلاثة اعوام الذي كان يحدق بصمت بعينيه الخضراوين وهو بين ذراعي امه، ايناس.</p> <p>وقالت ايناس احمد انه "تم تشخيص اصابة منتظر بورم سرطاني قبل عام".</p> <p>واضافت "اخذناه الى ايران قبل اشهر، وفتحوا الورم هناك لمساعدته" ووضع الاطباء ابرة في وريد قدم الفتى لادخال الامصال والعلاج.</p> <p>وتابعت وهي ترفع رداءه البرتقالي الذي يحمل صورة "ميكي ماوس" للكشف عن فجوة عميقة في بطنه، ان الاطباء في ايران "قالوا انهم لايستطيعون فعل شيء ونحن الان نحاول نقله خارج العراق ربما الى تايلاند".</p> <p>واشارت الطبيبة جنان الى ان "تزايد حالات الاصابة بالسرطان في البصرة قد سجلتها دراسة اعدت هذا العام من قبل جامعة واشنطن في سياتل، باستخدام معلومات من قبلنا واخرى من مستشفى ابن غزوان التعليمي".</p> <p>ووجدت الدراسة ان حالة الاصابة باللوكيميا لدى الاطفال دون 15 عاما، قد تصاعدت تدريجيا منذ عام 1993 حتى 2007.</p> <p>واوضحت "لاحظنا ان حالات الاصابة بسرطان الدم لدى الاطفال بلغت 698، بين عام 1993 و 2007، لقد تراوحت بين 15 حالة اصابة في العام الاول و56 حالة في العام الاخير".</p> <p>ولفتت الانتباه الى ان "اعلى معدل للاصابات كان 97 حالة في عام 2006" وفقا للدراسة التي اعدت من قبل امي هاغوبيان و تم تاكارو ونشرت في "مجلة الصحة العامة" الاميركية.</p> <p>واكد الطبيب محمد كامل مساعد مدير المستشفى الجديد، ان "الدراسة اظهرت ان حالات الاصابة بسرطان الدم لدى الاطفال في البصرة ازدادت ثلاثة او اربعة اضعاف، لكنها لم تكشف عن السبب" وراء ذلك.</p> <p>وركزت التكهنات على التلوث الصناعي، والكميات الكبيرة من الغازات المنبعثة من ابار النفط في المحافظة الغنية بالابار النفطية، اضافة الى وقوع البصرة على خط المواجهة في الحروب الثلاث التي خاضها العراق.</p> <p>وخاض العراق في 1980-1988 حربا مع ايران ثم حرب الخليج الاولى عام 1991 اعقبها اجتياح العراق للاطاحة بنظام صدام حسين عام 2003.</p> <p>وتطرقت الدراسة التي اعدها تاكارو-هاغوبيان، الى "افتراض كون المواد المتفجرة التي تعرضت لها البصرة كانت سرطانية".</p> <p>واعتبرت الدراسة انه يصعب التكهن بنوع الاسلحة التي استخدمت في تلك الحروب ومن قبل صدام حسين لكبح الانتفاضة الشيعية في جنوب العراق عام 1991.</p> <p>وركزت بعض التكهنات، حول سبب ارتفاع حالات الاصابة باللوكيميا الى اليورانيوم المنضب الذي استخدمته الولايات المتحدة ودول التحالف في حرب عام 1991، لتحرير الكويت ولدى اجتياح العراق عام 2003.</p> <p>ولكن الدراسة لم تشمل العلاقة بين المعدن المشع والمشاكل الصحية.</p>

hospital for children could not have opened in a needier location — since 1993, Basra province has seen a sharp rise in the incidence of childhood cancer.</p> <p>"Leukaemia among children under 15 has increased by about four times," said Dr. Janan Hasan of the Basra Children’s Hospital.</p> <p><a title="20101022_child_cancer_patient_Basrah_childrens_hospital by Gorillas Guides, on Flickr"

not have a high survival rate," she told AFP on the sidelines of the opening ceremony, where hapless parents with sick children in tow, many with the tell-tale baldness of chemotherapy, clustered around the paediatrician.</p> <p>The facility, which was built with multinational assistance and funds, officially opened on Thursday but has been partially operational for several months, Hasan said.</p> <p>"This hospital is a very important achievement, and I thank everyone who helped build it," she said.</p> <p>"This is a very good effort, but we still do not have advanced equipment, labs and many medicines. We hope to acquire them over time."</p> <p>Three-year-old Muntadhar, his green eyes staring dolefully from his mother’s arms, is one of the patients the hospital cannot help because it does not have the equipment.</p> <p>Muntadhar, an intravenous insertion needle bandaged to his foot, was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour a year ago, his mother Inas Ahmed said.</p> <p>"We took him to Iran a few months ago and they cut him open to try to help him," she said, lifting his orange Mickey Mouse T-shirt to reveal a deep scar across his belly.</p> <p>"But they said they couldn’t help and now we are trying to take him abroad, maybe to Thailand," she said with a look of resignation. A hospital official said they were working through some charities to arrange the operation, which Muntadhar’s poor parents cannot afford.</p> <p>Halima Mukhtar, draped in a loose black veil that showed her traditionally tattooed face and hands, carried her four-year-old son Musa on her right shoulder.</p> <p>"Thank God for this hospital, otherwise I wouldn’t know where else to turn," she said, a bottle of medicine in one hand.</p> <p>"In this world I have only God and the people at this hospital," she added," as Musa, wearing flip-flops on his feet and a surgeon’s mask that covered most of his face, stared down blankly from his perch.</p> <p>Hasan said the increasing cases of cancer in Basra were best documented in a study published this year by the University of Washington in Seattle, conducted with input from her and the Ibn Ghazwan teaching hospital.</p> <p>The report found leukaemia in Basra among children under 15 had grown year to year from 1993-2007.</p> <p>"We observed 698 cases of childhood leukaemia between 1993 and 2007, ranging between 15 cases in the first year and 56 cases in the final year, reaching a peak of 97 cases in 2006," said the study, authored by Amy Hagopian and Tim Takaro, and published in the American Journal of Public Health.</p> <p>"Basra’s childhood leukemia rates compare unfavourably to those of neighbouring Kuwait and nearby Oman, as well as the US and the European Union and other countries," the study said.</p> <p>"The incidence of cancer is significantly higher in Basra province than in other parts of Iraq," said Mohammed Kamil, deputy director of the hospital.</p> <p>Speculation has focused on industrial pollution, the huge volumes of burning gas from oil wells in the energy-rich province, and Basra’s position in the frontline of wars in past three decades: the 1980-1988 conflict with Iran, the 1991 Gulf War and the US-led invasion that overthrew dictator Saddam Hussein.</p> <p>"We hypothesise that hazardous exposures during these wars may have been leukaemogenic," said the Hagopian-Takaro study.</p> <p>What weapons were actually used in those wars, and by Saddam himself against his own people to put down a 1991 Shiite uprising in the south, is anyone’s guess.</p> <p>Some of the conjecture has centred on depleted uranium weapons used by US and coalition forces in the 1991 war to liberate Kuwait and the 2003 US-led invasion.</p> <p>But in Iraq the possible link between the radioactive metal and health problems has not been proven.</p> <p>The hospital, decorated with portraits of Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse prancing about with his girlfriend Minnie, was built with help from the United States, Spain, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, the UN Development Programme and Project Hope.</p> <p>"This project will have a capability to serve the people of Iraq and its people and children of Iraq for many years to come," said Brigadier-General Randal Dragon, Deputy Commander for Support of the US army base in Basra.</p> <p>"From that perspective, all of us should be proud and hope this project will pay big dividends," he told AFP.</p> <blockquote></blockquote> <p><a
