Two refugee camps have been set up there, nine miles from the border with Syria. As Save the Children's Country Director, I made the dangerous 280-mile journey out to Al Qaem to help with our distribution of urgently needed newborn kits and to hear the stories of the families. Although in numbers they are fewer than their counterparts in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, their suffering and needs are no less pronounced, especially given their low profile, the extreme challenges that organizations are facing in reaching them, the lack of funding and the minimal services in the area. Save the Children is one of very few organizations supporting the more than 8,000 Syrian refugees living in very difficult circumstances in this hardly accessible area in the far western corner of Iraq.

Bell said doctors told @placeholder he'll likely receive a new heart in about three to four months, but that this timetable could change. | (CNN) -- A teenage boy with a failing heart had been denied a chance at a heart transplant. But that decision was reversed this week, turning his family's frustration to joy. Anthony Stokes has been at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston since July 14, according to CNN affiliate WSB-TV. The hospital told his family the 15-year-old was ineligible for a spot on the heart transplant waiting list because of "noncompliance," family friend Mark Bell told CNN. An August 7 letter from the hospital, which Bell provided to CNN, said that "Anthony is currently not a transplant candidate due to having a history of noncompliance, which is one of our center's contraindications to listing for heart transplant."

By appointing a multicultural (and multireligious) legal prosecution team made up of military lawyers of all races and religions, we can set a good example to show the rest of the world that our @placeholder legal justice system is truly equal for all people, regardless of their race, religion or socioeconomic status. | Washington (CNN) -- Most of the world's 1.57 billion Muslims know that the Holy Quran states quite clearly that, "Anyone who kills a human being ... it shall be as though he has killed all of mankind. ... If anyone saves a life, it shall be as though he has saved the lives of all of mankind." Accordingly, it should come as little surprise to any reasonable observer that when Army Maj.

"We insist on an immediate termination of the Kiev militaristic rhetoric aimed at intimidating its own population, on preventing the use of force and initiation of the internal @placeholder dialogue to seek national reconciliation within the country," the ministry said in a statement posted on its website. | In the eastern Ukrainian city of Luhansk, makeshift barricades, concertina wire and masked men in camouflage greeted visitors to the regional administration building Wednesday. Seized by armed men Tuesday, the building in Ukraine's restive Donetsk region is just the latest to fall under the control of pro-Russian militants. Government sites across more than a dozen towns and cities in Donetsk remain occupied, despite an international deal agreed to earlier this month that called for illegal armed groups to disarm and go home. And the militias, resolutely defiant, show no signs of changing their stance. In the foyer of the Luhansk government building -- outside which pro-Russian flags now fly -- more armed men, sandbags and wire surrounded a desk through which access to the rest of the building was controlled. A handful of employees waited, looking very uncomfortable.
