The Independent UK has a very troubling report about the health situation in Iraq. The link is below. 68% of Iraqis do not have access to safe drinking water. Only 19% of Iraqis have access to sewage disposal. 70% of the children who have died since the war’s beginning, have died of treatable problems, like diahhrea (sp?) but part of the problem is that 18,000 doctors have left Iraq since 2003. The US was to have built 180 hospitals by 2005, but so far it has only completed 4. The number of dead that the prof came up with doesn’t seem that wacky when you start to take all of this into account.
