---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rania Masri <rrmasri@unity.ncsu.edu> "In 1990, using 1987 statistics, the first Human Development Report classed Iraq as having high medium human development, 54th in the world rankings. This year's report, based on 1995 statistics, put it 127th. Life expectancy then was 65 with an adult literacy rate of 89 per cent. Now Iraqis on average are dead at 58 and only 58 per cent are literate." >From Middle East International, 27 November 1998 Article: Arabs Indexed, by Ian Williams -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a discussion list run by Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq.
