Continuing Collateral Damage: The health and environmental costs of
war on Iraq
http://www.medact.org/tbx/docs/Coll%20Dam%202.pdf
Continuing Collateral Damage: The health and environmental costs of
war on Iraq calculates the toll, and shows how the general state of health
of the Iraqi people, already poor by international standards, has been
compromised further by the war.
The findings have emerged from a comprehensive independent survey
undertaken by the UK global health charity Medact. Part-funded by Oxfam and
the Polden-Puckham Charitable Foundation, an international team of authors
and advisers, all experts on health and conflict, have assessed the health
and environmental impact of the war.
Executive Summary
http://www.medact.org/tbx/docs/iraq%20-%20hmp%20final%20exec%20summary%202003.doc
The war on Iraq and its aftermath exacted a heavy toll on combatants
and civilians, who paid and continue to pay the price in death, injury and
mental and physical ill health. Between 21,700 and 55,000 people died
between March 20 and October 20, 2003 (the date on which this report went to
press), while the health and environmental consequences of the conflict will
be felt for many years to come.
