Scenes of Horror at Iraqi Hospital

[fizzana]

This just turns my stomach. We're really doing a great job over there.

"Two-year-old Nawaf Mishal lies whimpering on a pile of dirty blankets in an Iraqi hospital, so malnourished his face is deformed, his legs are like pencils and his enormous almond eyes empty with pain.

He vomits everything he eats, and a 10-day course of antibiotics and fluids at the children's hospital in Samawa, about 260km south of Baghdad, has not helped.

Nawaf fell ill when the village drinking water became infused with sewage. No one in his family thought to boil the water first.

Doctors at the hospital say the number of cases of severe gastroenteritis caused by contaminated water have doubled since the 2003 United States-led invasion of Iraq."

1. The U$ is still killing

with the DU (even if not radioactive, it is a heavy metal and pulverized heavy metal is not good for you).
Double the cases of severe gastroenterits since the invasion. etc.
Very sad.
