this is an excerpt from a really informative report on the sanctions in iraq!!!
SANCTIONS EFFECT ON HUMAN RIGHTS
Because the Iraqi military is unwilling to give into the
economic pressures of sanctions, the mortality rate of Iraqi's
sick, children, are increasing. In fact, three and a half
million people are at risk of dyeing in Iraq, a half million
of which are children under five. Iraqi's lives are
threatened by shortages of drugs, medicines, and food.
Although theoretically exempt from sanctions, Iraqi's health
system has no money to buy pharmaceuticals. Therefore, drugs
and other medicinal products are found in short supply.(11)
