Fifty children and adults of the Zharawa IDP (Internally Displaced Person) Camp, and Christian Peacemaker team and delegation members clustered around two large cloth banners along the bank of the shallow river not far from the Iraq-Iran border. Written boldly on one side was, “Bombing Hurts. Please Stop!”  With paint, villagers put handprints and small drawings on this banner. Several children proudly held up their hands for us to see.
