PICKING her way through a ruined city, Sukayna Muhammad Younes devotes herself to getting thousands of lost children back to their warscattered families. The work is hard and often desperately sad, adding to Sukayna’s existing sorrows. Two of her brothers were killed by jihadis, her home has been wrecked, and she gets death threats on a regular basis. For CROSSING CONTINENTS (RADIO 4, 11AM) Tim Whewell reports on the work of a brave and determined Iraqi woman.
