Provide Aid to Iraqi War Victims
Organizations such as these are providing much-needed relief in Iraq.

American Friends Service Committee
Since June, 2002, AFSC in cooperation with other international aid agencies has been working on a contingency plan for Iraq. This resulted in the shipment of three 40 foot containers to Jordan. The containers are filled with health kits, school kits and blankets that will be distributed by the AFSC regional staff in cooperation with other international and local organizations.

Doctors without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF)
Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has a 6-person international medical team in Baghdad consisting of a surgeon, an anesthesiologist, an emergency medical doctor, a head of mission, and two persons providing logistical support. They will remain in the city to assess medical needs and see how it would be possible to provide independent emergency medical assistance as the situation evolves.

International Rescue Committee
The International Rescue Committee is readying five emergency response teams for dispatch to the Middle East in preparation for a widening humanitarian crisis that a war against Iraq would undoubtedly bring. The teams comprise an emergency coordinator and health, water, sanitation, child protection, and logistics experts.

Mercy Corps
Mercy Corps is working with partner agencies in and around Iraq to coordinate a response to a potential humanitarian crisis in the region. Mercy Corps staff members in Baghdad and northern Iraq are performing assessments and preparing to provide humanitarian assistance in the event of a humanitarian crisis.
