ICRC Relief and Medical Assistance in Southern Iraq
Iraq Foundation, February 16,1999
Last week 20 families whose houses were partially or totally destroyed
when a stray missile hit Basra on 25 January received kitchen sets,
kerosene heaters, tarpaulins and food parcels following an assessment of
needs by ICRC delegates.
An emergency stock was also set up in the city to enable the ICRC and
the Iraqi Red Crescent Society to respond immediately to any future
needs. The stock comprises 1,000 blankets, 70 tents, medical kits for
500 war wounded,100 tarpaulins, kitchen sets and soap.
