>From the BBC News Web site Tuesday, February 9, 1999 Published at 20:10 GMT World: Middle East Animal disease spreads in Iraq The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation has expressed grave concern that an outbreak of animal diseases in Iraq could spread to other countries in the Middle East. It says that would seriously undermine food security in the region. The FAO says Iraq has been unable to monitor and control the spread of a number of diseases, including Old World screw-worm, foot and mouth disease and peste des petits ruminants. It says the situation has been aggrevated by the Iraqi government's difficulty in obtaining equipment and supplies, particularly vaccines. >From the newsroom of the BBC World Service Mark Parkinson -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a discussion list run by Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq.
