Five-year-old Iraqi Hussein poses at the King Hussein Cancer Centre in Amman August 19, 2008. Hussein, who is suffering from leukaemia, is one of the few Iraqis to have had the chance to travel overseas for treatment as there is a scarcity of health facilities in Iraq, officials at the Cancer Centre said.
