Hopefully the war will stop soon. Possibly it will not, yet if it does, the following are the brutal statistics as brought to our attention by the various aid agencies and non-governmental organisations, statistics which show clearly the huge humanitarian efforts which will be required. At least 11 million people will need some sort of humanitarian aid, at least 10,000 people will have died in the conflict and at least 900,000 Iraqis are likely to become refugees. Half a million people will be left sick or injured, three million mothers and children will require urgent food supplies, two million people at least will require shelter, and millions of people will have been affected by the disruption to the food supply chain.
