Nearly a Third of Iraqis Need Immediate Emergency Help as Conflict Masks a Humanitarian Crisis, Say

 "DEAR FRIENDS OF RADIO"
WASHINGTON - The violence in Iraqis overshadowing a humanitarian crisis, with eight million Iraqis -- nearly one in three -- in need of emergency aid, says a report released today by international agency Oxfam and NCCI, a network of aid organizations working in Iraq.
 
The report "Rising to the Humanitarian Challenge in Iraq" says that although the horrific security situation is the biggest problem facing most ordinary Iraqis, the government of Iraq and other influential governments can and must do more to meet people's basic needs for water, sanitation, food and shelter.
 
According to the report:
 
-- Four million Iraqis -- 15% -- regularly cannot buy enough to eat.
 
-- 70% are without adequate water supplies, compared to 50% in 2003.
 
-- 28% of children are malnourished, compared to 19% before the 2003 invasion.
 
-- 92% of Iraqi children suffer learning problems, mostly due to the climate of fear.
 
-- More than two million people -- mostly women and children -- have been displaced inside Iraq.
 
-- A further two million Iraqis have become refugees, mainly in Syria and Jordan. Read more HERE.
