A Million Iraqis Have Been Killed Because of America - Stop TheMadness NOW

wrote:
Dear Friends,

As of July 2006, a scientific study led by researchers at Johns
Hopkins found that the UN's sanctions had starved a million Iraqi
children by 1999.

14-12-1999 UN Report

Effect on the Iraqi Population

As in war, it is civilians who are the prime victims of sanctions.
Salaries are as low as US$2 a month; there is around 50% unemployment.
People have had to sell their belongings in order to survive -- first
their cars, then household appliances, even their books and furniture.
Regular school attendance by children under 15 has fallen drastically
since 1990 for "school does not give us money in order to live". And in
the schools themselves, pupils often have to squat on the floor for want
of chairs and desks. Water pipes have not been repaired, and there are
huge pools of stagnating water in the school yard.
**************
Remember this was 4 years before the U.S. Invasion.
