Diseases:
          Although the end of the Gulf War brought happiness to Kuwaitis and other supporting countries, it still had left behind it numerous diseases such as Gulf War Syndrome, Asthma, fear and much more. The Gulf War Syndrome is a disease that effected soldiers (whom helped in the war ) and their kids. There kids were born with missing parts such as hands, legs, etc. The soldiers who carried that disease had memory loss, joint pains and weakness. This disease entered Kuwait from the chemicals that were left by bomb and such from Iraq.


          Some of the war diseases still exist today in Kuwait like Asthma and fear. Many Kuwaitis have asthma today because of the pollution that occurred during and after the oil burning. Kuwaiti young men and women still suffer from endless fears. Many of them fear being in a dark place, others don't enjoy fire works like normal mature people. countless Kuwaitis still wake up in the middle of the night terrified from what they saw during the war.

Tools that Iraqis used to torture or kill Kuwaitis


A Tortured to death Kuwaiti.

 

          Starting by the first day of the invasion, Kuwait has lived a series of  repeated heartless crimes. Those crimes were cruel and inhuman. All the Kuwaiti and non-Kuwaiti citizens, who lived in Kuwait were injured from Iraqi troops and or killed. Iraqi troops used numerous tools to torture Kuwaiti citizens without a reason. Most reason's were as lame as writing slogan's on walls about loving Kuwait or for keeping pictures of the ruling family/flags of Kuwait. They abused anyone whom they thought was a part of the Kuwait resistance.
          The Iraqi armed forces strained Kuwaitis to cooperate with them in order to be living or they would try to create of them secret agents against their occupied country. Not only that, but they forced them to declare that Kuwait's government  and the ruling family isn't giving them their rights and freedom and to show their fake loyalty to the Saddam and his followers. The Iraqi soldiers set many houses on fire if they found any suspected weapons, forgetting the fact that the weapons are used for bird hunting or for target practice.
          Most of the Kuwaiti victims were males between 16-23 years old. Saddam's military used schools, government buildings, police station and sport clubs as jails to punish innocent people. Iraqi soldiers have raped women lots of times and some times they did it in front of the their families. Most of the raped women had a Philippine or an Indian nationality. The torture during the war was harsh to a point it caused countless physical and mental disabilities. Some of which still exists in Kuwait that's because there wasn't proper medication back during the Gulf War.
         Women were not the only ones tortured but kids were taken from their families and killed. They took babies out of the incubators from hospitals and through them on the cold hard floor. After that they took the incubators to Iraq, this killed Kuwaiti kids or lead to their physical disabilities and it didn't help the Iraqi kids because they weren't familiar with the incubators purpose. Killing Kuwaiti kids, hurting their helpless parents and destroying the future of a small yet faithful country is not one crime but more than one. Kuwaitis were executed without trials, the body then would be thrown on the doorstep of their house and the family wasn't allowed to move the body  for three days. This was a rule the Iraqi government put to increase pollution and a way to torture Kuwaiti families. Iraqis have buried more than 275 babies some were in Al-Reqqa graveyard and the rest were in other places around Kuwait. The Red Crescent have quoted" 4-5 bodies daily, at times we receive 10 bodies, a 12-year old girl was killed!".
