Joel Charny of
Refugees International highlights that the
lack of preparations that have been put in place to deal with the humanitarian crisis likely to develop follow the anticipated invasion of Iraq in a
field report posted on Reuters'
AlertNet.
A second report, also posted on
AlertNet, lists the various
relief organisations that are currently active in Iraq and outlines some of the
dilemmas + difficulties associated with accepting the US government's humanitarian relief funds.
... and finally, an
interview with John Howard of
Registered Engineers for Disaster Relief makes the point that it will be
difficult for relief organisations to deploy staff with US or UK passports if a US-led force does eventually invade Iraq.
