There is some horrific footage, including an articulate Kurd woman pleading for protection from the West for the refugee Kurds in her column who were being shelled and gassed at the time. Anybody who has ever had a 2-year-old child cannot help but be chilled by some of the photographs of dead families. This was recorded after Iraq was ejected from Kuwait rather than during the earlier Iran-Iraq war referenced by your article.
This may be contrived, but the BBC is usually pretty balanced.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
