Iraqi Civilian Deaths ... caused by Bush's unprovoked war

 

Red Cross horrified by number of dead civilians
(CTV.ca, April 3, 2003)
Red Cross doctors who visited southern Iraq this week saw "incredible" levels of civilian casualties including a truckload of dismembered women and children, a spokesman said Thursday from Baghdad. . . . "We saw that a truck was delivering dozens of totally dismembered dead bodies of women and children. It was an awful sight. It was really very difficult to believe this was happening." . . . Huguenin said the dead and injured in Hilla came from the village of Nasiriyah, where there has been heavy fighting between American troops and Iraqi soldiers, and appeared to be the result of "bombs, projectiles." . . . "In the case of Hilla, everybody had very serious wounds and many, many of them small kids and women. We had small toddlers of two or three years of age who had lost their legs, their arms. We have called this a horror." At least 400 people were taken to the Hilla hospital over a period of two days, he said -- far beyond its capacity. . . . Red Cross staff are also concerned about what may be happening in other smaller centres south of Baghdad. . . . The Red Cross expects the humanitarian crisis in Iraq to grow and is calling for donations to help cope.
