چکیده

The chemical attack of Halabja was one of the last destructive events of eight years of the Iran-Iraq war. For the Kurdish movements, the chemical attack of Halabja was one of the most tragic disasters of the 1980s. Kurds and their land, Kurdistan, were sacrificed most in this war, although they did not belong to this historical and long-term conflict between the two countries. The chemical attack on Halabja was a great trauma not only to the Kurds but to the whole world. The accident left many negative consequences for the Kurdish society. This study is conducted to talk about one of the long-term problems that resulted from the attack; which is the loss of children during the accident. This paper is divided into two sections, in the first part; we talk about the event in terms of time, place, and the last statistics of the lost children. While, the second part shows the problems of the disappearance, as well as problems the children faced after their return.
