Nursery World, 18 December 2003

(Photograph) - The first International Child of Courage Award was given to Ali Ismaeel Abbas (standing) at a ceremony in Westminster Abbey as part of the 30th Woman's Own Children of Courage awards. Ali became a symbol of the war in Iraq earlier this year after suffering burns and the loss of both his arms in a bomb strike on Baghdad that killed his parents and 12 members of his family. Last month Ali was fitted with prosthetic arms by the Limbless Association. Photo: Michael Melia
