Khadija, 27 days, a young girl with a severe heart defect, is lying on her mother's lap inside a room of the children's ward of Fallujah General Hospital, Iraq. Around 15 per cent of children at the hospital are now being born with some sort of congenital defect. The average elsewhere in the world is believed to be between 2 and 4 per cent.
