French NGO pledges to stay in Iraq
A French aid agency helping to repair water treatment plants in Iraq said it intended to stay in the country despite the latest deadly bombings, including a massive blast at the premises of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Baghdad. The Solidarites agency, which has staff working in the regions of Hillal and Diwaniyah, said late on Tuesday that it was seeking to boost security for its members, but would not pull out. "We have decided, with our team on the ground, to continue our humanitarian activities," the group said in a statement. Teams from Solidarites are working to repair a total of 60 water treatment facilities in the war-shattered country. I donât know any details about this group, but thanks for staying.
