Impending Health Disaster. 26 November 2004
Dr.Ali h. Rasheed, consultant psychiatrists Yarmouk Teaching hospital, Baghdad_Iraq Send response to journal: Re: Impending Health Disaster.	I feel very greatful for mentioning this. In fact the current state of general health is just bad and running downhill. There is a real need to support the general health and the shortage of power supply and fuel render the condition to a critical magnitude. alot of calls for help is there, but little or no response felt at the end user level.. Children are the silent victims who face very hostile and lethal consequences, and what has been mentioned is just the tip of iceberg. I wish this can be a cry for help to all those who can offer anything to help promote health in Iraq. Competing interests: None declared

Ibraheem H Hamoodi, Eye Clinic / Clinical Observer St. James Hospital / Leeds / UK Send response to journal: Re: Re: Impending Health Disaster.	Well , well .....if only people thought about Iraqi children a bit more than any other gossip , Iraq would be fine .... I truly belive that Iraqi children have never lived a proper childhood , & that Iraq needs experts from abroad to easen up childrens suffering , cause who ever is in charge now , hasn't lived a proper childhood himself .... Children are dying in hundreds ...& thousands , not that much of a difference from Sadam's time ,, at least we had the embargo to blame .....now who do we blame ? Competing interests: None declared
