It is hard to see how humanitarian aid can be distributed in large parts of Iraq. Senator Kitt mentioned the first hand experience of Mr. David Hogan, who is involved in the oil industry. Humanitarian concerns are not being put centre stage by occupation forces which are obliged under the Geneva Convention to put the protection of civilian life first. This is not happening according to the reports coming out of Baghdad. It is sad that everyday, the number of American deaths and those of other occupying forces, all of which are regretted, are reported but no figures are given for the number of Iraqi dead, the vast majority of whom are civilians. They are shot at random, not necessarily by the occupying forces but by common criminals, although this makes no difference. It sends a terrible message to the Iraqi people about the lack of value the occupying forces put on their lives that the Iraqi death toll is not announced. Journalists are also denied access to the casualty departments of hospitals, so they cannot see for themselves what is happening there. If this can be brought up with the occupiers, it will serve some good. One cannot expect respect from people unless one shows them respect in turn. The first figure we must start getting is the Iraqi death toll.
