I know her from her blog, Hnk from Mosul. Now she's going to be a mother. A mother on the run. That sounds bad for mother and child. She fled her hometown to Jordan. Isn't her sister in Germany and can't she be reunited with her sister?
Just a thought. Humantarian aid it's called I think.
A link to her blogspot:

Arab spring
Since February this year a wave of anger of the people of North African countries and on the Arab peninsula paved the way for new rulers. The transition isn´t swift. Many people died and even die today because the struggle goes on. However this revolution is considered by the EU-parliament as a major turnpoint in history.
The 2011 Sakharov prize goes to five Arab Spring activists. Egyptian Asmaa Mahfouz rallied fellow citizen to protest through Youtube videos, Facebook and Twitter posts. Ahmed al-Zubair Ahmed al-Sanusi, once Libya's longest-serving political prisoner, is now trying to rebuild his country as a member of the National Transitional Council.
Razan Zaitouneh, a Syrian human rights lawyer, exposed murders and human rights abuses committed by the authorities. Ali Farzat's cartoons helped to inspire revolt, and led to Syrian security forces to break both his hands. Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire to protest humiliation by the Tunisian authorities. His death sparked the wave of protests now known as the Arab Spring.
It is thought that the Arab countries only changed regime for another one and the possible introduction of the sharia is a real treat for society.
Maybe that is not the real problem. Maybe the real problem is the large part of uneducated people without an independent view.
