听力题 The Gulf War changed the lives of ordinary people, many of whom lived far from Kuwait or Iraq. In this eight-part series correspondents visit individuals and families who have had to alter completely their plans and life styles as a result of the war. We hear, for example, from an Iraqi Kurdish family who escaped across the snow-covered mountains to Turkey, losing everything they had accumulated over more than 20 years. John Renner visits them in their small tent in the heat and dust of a refugee camp where they are desperately hoping that some Western country will offer them shelter. There is a Palestinian family which lived and worked in Kuwait and cannot return. They have lost friends, family, their living and a way of life. And what about the US serviceman and his family who had heard little about Kuwait before the invasion? Do they think it was worthwhile and how easy was it to fit back into their old routine after their experiences of the war? John Renner meets an Asian maid who worked in the Gulf and supported her family at home with her salary. Is she thinking of going back, or has she been put off by the experience of escaping and the horror stories of exploitation in Kuwait? These are just some of the people who are heard in the series which are produced by Lindsey Hilsum.
