Red Cross: Hospitals in Dire Straits Due to Baghdad Anarchy
The International Red Cross Alert today says that the situation in Baghdad hospitals is dire as anarchy grips:
BAGHDAD (11 April) The ICRC in Baghdad is extremely concerned about the anarchy and general chaos prevalent in the city. Lawlessness continues to be rampant, with ambulances being stopped and looted by armed individuals. The ICRC fears that the hospitals in Baghdad are no longer functioning and have been largely deserted by staff and patients. Most Baghdadis are too terrified to leave their homes. The ICRC will carry out assessments at different hospitals in the city if and when the security situation permits.[link via Paper Chase]
