Most hospitals in Baghdad well supplied
Edited for brevity.U.S. military officials charged with rebuilding Iraq's emergency services say that hospitals in Baghdad are in far better shape than previous reports of massive looting had indicated. Far from having been stripped bare, the majority of hospitals have adequate equipment, and more crutches and medication have arrived than are needed, thanks to contributions from international humanitarian organizations. Officials also said that, according to private surveys, fewer than half of Baghdad's hospitals had been ransacked. One independent survey said seven of 27 hospitals examined had been looted and that many others were spared because they were guarded by American tanks. This good news must be suppressed--it's quagmire, I tell you! Quagmire! Posted by: Dar 2003-05-06 |
