On the ground reporting from Iraq
Edited on Fri Jun-25-04 08:40 AM by Skinner
This fellow is very much worth following.

He stated, “The Ministry talks a lot, but they do no action for us.” He said that people are getting injured or killed on their way to the hospital because of the dismal security situation. He said, “Bremer came here and talked a lot at the beginning of the occupation, but nothing has changed.”

His anger and frustration was palpable when he discussed how many gunshot victims he treated who are shot at US checkpoints, and said that he too was afraid to even leave his hospital.

He was outraged at the fact that his hospital treats 10-20 gunshot victims each day, whereas before the invasion they treated an average of one per week, sometimes only one per month.

Her talk goes straight to those responsible for the lack of supplies--those funding and controlling the Ministry of Health: the US-led CPA.
