Environmental Effects of War: Health

This is more directly relating to the enviornmental effects of the war. Apparently the war has led to decreased health services and a lack of available clean water for those within Iraq... I can't find the full report that is mentioned, but from other sources that have summarized it, it sounds like it's pretty lengthy....

"The new report estimates that more than 20,000 Iraqis have died between the start of hostilities and when the report was finalised late last month. The number of people affected by the aftermath of the war is still rising as the Iraqi people continue to pay the price in death, injury and mental and physical ill health.

'Limited access to clean water and sanitation, as well as poverty, malnutrition, and disruption of public services including health services continue to have a negative impact on the health of the Iraqi people,' says the report's author Dr Sabya Farooq."
