What Happened to my Sister?

Rose, who writes "Diary from Baghdad", has a recent update. She's losing track of people in her family, and their movements are becoming increasingly restricted in the city.

Today she called and said there was a tank in their street and they let them leave the house. She went with her 3 children to her husband’s uncle house which is the nearest to their house and they couldn’t go further. Her husband returned to their house to stay with his parents and his grand mother since she is a very old woman and have something similar to comma and can’t be moved. My mother called him to check if they are still OK, He said two rockets fell near them, the first one only two houses away and the second one fell on the house opposite to theirs.

Her blog is updated fairly regularly, and is well worth a look. Good luck, Rose. You'll be in our thoughts.
