نحو 16 ألف إصابة سنويا بالسرطان في العراق يتصدرها سرطان الثدي لدى النساء. وقال رئيس مجلس السرطان في الوزارة احمد مبارك ان هناك عدة اسباب وراء انتشار مرض السرطان في العراق بعضها يعود لقضايا جينية، أما البقية بسبب التلوث البيئي وسوء التغذية والتدخين وقلة الحركة.واشار الى ان الحروب والاسلحة والديناميت والانفجارات من الاسباب الرئيسة للسرطانات في البلاد لاحتوائها على مواد اشعاعية موضحاً ان هناك اشخاص اصيبوا بالسرطان نتيجة سوء استخدام العقاقير الطبية خصوصا في صفوف النساء اللواتي يستخدمن ادوية مانع الحمل مبينا ان المعدل السنوي لاصابات السرطان في العراق اكثر من 16 الف اصابة في صفوف العراقيين توزع بواقع 60 اصابة لكل 10 الف شخص وهو معدل مقارب لدول الجوار.واضاف انه من ابرز السرطانات المسجلة في العراق هو سرطان الثدي وسرطان الرئة واورام الدم والغدد اللمفاوية وغيرها. وأكد مبارك ان العراق لديه في كل محافظة مركزا للعلاج بالادوية الكيمياوية باستثناء "المثنى وميسان وديالى" وهي في طور الفتح و6 معجلات خطية للعلاج الاشعاعي.وتابع رئيس مجلس السرطان ان هناك 7 معجلات خطية للعلاج الاشعاعي ستفتح 3 منها في البصرة و2 في بابل و2 في الانبار اثنان منها ستدخل الخدمة خلال شهرين واثنان اخران في نهاية العام الحالي والبقية في منتصف العام المقبل.واشار الى ان الوزارة لديها خطة لاستقدام كوادر اجنبية من الهند لتشغيل اجهزة العلاج الاشعاعي الحديثة التي استوردتها الوزارة وتدريب الكوادر العراقية للعمل عليها واستحداث دراسات موازية للعلاج الاشعاعي داخل البلد وبعثات خارج العراق.</p> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post

وزيرها الجديد اعترفت وزارة الصحة العراقية بوجود ارتفاع في نسب الاصابة بالسرطان في البلاد بعد ان كانت تتجنب الاشارة الى الامر بصورة مباشرة وربما جاء ذلك على خلفية المراكز التي افتتحت لعلاج المرض في انحاء مختلفة من البلاد ضمن برامج وضعت مسبقاً <br/>النساء كان لهن الحصة الاكبر من معدلات الاصابة بالسرطان اذ تشير الإحصاءات الى ان الاصابة بسرطان الثدي باتت تحتل ثلث اصابات أورام وامراض السرطان في البلاد بينما تقف المفاهيم الاجتماعية الخاطئة حجر عثرة امام الكشف المبكر عن تلك الاصابات. <br/>وبحسب عدد من المصابات بالمرض فان الكشف المبكر عن الاورام التي اصبن بها وقاهن من تحول تلك الاورام الى سرطانات كان من الممكن ان تودي بحياتهن. <br/>ويأتي ازدياد حالات الاصابة بسرطان الثدي في العراق بالتزامن مع ظهور سرطانات لم تكن شائعة فيه كسرطان الدماغ والكبد وتتركز اغلب اصابات البلاد في مناطق البصرة وذي قار وميسان والسليمانية التي تشير الاحصاءات إلى ان ثمانية عشرة بالمئة من سكانها مصابون او معرضون للاصابة بالمرض الذي يحتاج الى امكانات كبيرة ومتطورة لعلاجه قد لا تتوفر بعد في العراق. </p> </div>

الاسلحة الامريكية والبريطانية التي تم القاؤها على العراق خلال العدوان الجسد العراقي  الى  هيكل تنهش فيه الامراض وخاصة السرطان الذي بدأ ينتشر بين العراقيين كما تنتشر النار في الهشيم. فقد أعلنتْ مستشفى هيوا الحكومي بمحافظة السليمانية، </p> <p>عن أن ما لا يقل عن أربعة آلاف إصابة بالسرطان سجلت خلال الثلاث سنوات الماضية بالعراق،فيما أكد أن أغلب تلك الإصابات كانت بالسليمانية.وقال مدير المستشفى طالب توفيق خلال مؤتمر صحفي،إنه ‘بحسب إحصاءات مستشفى هيوا لمعالجة مرضى السرطان فأن ما لا يقل عن أربعة آلآف إصابة بالسرطان تم تسجيلها خلال الثلاث سنوات الماضية فقط’، مضيفا أن ‘أغلب تلك الإصابات سجلت داخل مدينة السليمانية، و30′ سجلت بمحافظات كركوك وصلاح الدين وبغداد والمحافظات الجنوبية’.وأوضح توفيق أن ‘تلوث البيئة والمواد الغذائية والإشعاعات الكيمياوية هي عوامل للإصابة بالمرض’،مؤكدا أن ‘النساء والأطفال يشكلون النسبة الأكبر في عدد المصابين’.ودعا توفيق إلى’تقديم المساعدة إلى المصابين بالمرض، لأن أغلبهم من الفقراء والمحتاجين وغير القادرين على شراء الدواء بسبب غلائه’.يذكر أن وزارة الصحة في إقليم كردستان قد أعلنت في نيسان/ابريل من العام الحالي أن مرض السرطان يشكل خطرا جديا على حياة المواطنين بسبب الأوضاع البيئة المتردية بالمحافظة،والتي يرجح أختصاصيون أسبابها إلى عدم وجود رقابة صحية جدية على المواد الغذائية، فضلا عن الحروب التي مرت بها المنطقة وما رافقتها من إشعاعات كيماوية سامة أضرت كثيرا بصحة المواطنين آنذاك وظهرت مخلفاتها بعد سنوات.</p> </p></div> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post

align="right"> <p>النجف .. قال مصدر مطلع في وزاره الصحه في النجف ان 38 اصابة.. تخلف واقعا مأساويا وعلامات استغراب كبيرة في حي الانصار جنوب شرقي مركز محافظة النجف كشفت عن حالة غامضة أثارت تساؤلات ما زالت حتى الآن بلا إجابات،</p> <p>تزايدت حالات الإصابة بالأمراض السرطانية بمختلف أنواعها أودت بحياة العديد من المواطنين فيما لا زال البعض منهم يتلقى العلاج على أمل ضعيف بالشفاء لتشكل حالة أشبه ما تكون بالعدوى الوبائية زقاق الموت لم تدم رحلة علاج عبد زيد كاظم الذي يسكن الزقاق 124 في حي الأنصار أكثر من عامين حتى وافاه الاجل جراء إصابته بسرطان الرئة، هذا ما قاله أبنه الأكبر سعد، مشيرا إلى أنهم اكتشفوا إصابة الأب بالسرطان أواخر عام 2003 عندما راجع مستشفى الحكيم العام وهو يشكو من ضيق في التنفس. ويروي سعد مقتطفات عن رحلة العلاج المريرة: بدأنا علاج والدي بالحقن الكيمياوية حين لم تكن متوفرة في النجف وكنا نأتي بها من محافظة بابل بسعر يتراوح بين 15 إلى 20 ألف دينار للحقنة الواحدة. وأضاف: يوما بعد آخر تضاعف سعر الحقنة ليصل إلى 225 ألف دينار وكذلك تضاعفت حاجة والديها إليها مع تراجعت حالته الصحية، فبعد أن كانت حقنة واحدة في الشهر أصبحت حقنة كل أسبوع ثم حقنتين في الأسبوع، ما يعني 450 ألف دينار أسبوعيا وهو مبلغ لا نستطيع توفيره، كما لم ينجح العلاج بالإبقاء على حياته. الابن تساءل «هل السرطان مرض معدً»؟، معللا سبب هذا التساؤل بإصابة أفراد العائلة المجاورة لمنزلهم بالسرطان مباشرة بعد اكتشاف حالة أبيه وظهور العديد من الإصابات في الزقاق. إصابات قاتلة مختار منطقة حي الانصار الثانية احمد طاهر الميالي روى قصصا مأساوية عززها بما لديه من وثائق ومستمسكات عن المصابين بالسرطان قدمها الى المجلس البلدي ومجلس المحافظة والحكومة المحلية على امل الحصول على مساعدات لهذه العوائل او ايجاد حلول للمصاعب التي تواجهها. وألمح الى ان معظم هذه العوائل باتت ترفض اجراء اللقاءات الصحفية او التلفزيونية بعد كثرة الزيارات والأسئلة ونقل صورة حية عن الواقع المأساوي لهذه العوائل لكن من دون وضع أية معالجات جادة لمعاناتهم. الميالي كشف ان اغلب المصابين توفوا بعد عامين من تلقي العلاج، اما من لا تمكنهم حالتهم المادية من الحصول على العلاج فلم يعيشوا اكثر من ستة اشهر اذ وصل سعر حقنة العلاج الكيمياوي الى 225 الف دينار ولا تتوفر الا في صيدلية واحدة في محافظة بابل، مؤكدا ان مدير الصحة في النجف وعد قبل عام تقريباً بتوفيرها لكنه لم يف بوعده حتى الآن. وتابع: قمنا بمراجعة دائرة الرعاية الاجتماعية للحصول على معونات لمرضى السرطان الا انها اعتذرت بأن الاصابات السرطانية غير مشمولة برواتب شبكة الحماية الاجتماعية، وما يثير الاستياء ان المسؤولين في شبكة الحماية الاجتماعية يماطلون في انجاز معاملات العوائل التي فقدت معيلها جراء الاصابة بالسرطان على الرغم من ان الارامل والايتام من الفئات المشمولة برواتب الشبكة، كما لم يحرك مجلس المحافظة ساكنا بهذا الخصوص. 38 اصابة في محلة واحدة الميالي اكد تسجيل 38 اصابة سرطانية ضمن المحلة السكنية التي يديرها توفي اغلبهم ولم يبق منهم على قيد الحياة سوى اربعة او خمسة مصابين، مشيرا الى ان من بين المصابين طفلة اضطر والدها الى بيع سيارته وهي مصدر رزقه الوحيد لاجراء عملية رفع ورم من الدماغ لابنته وهو الان عاطل عن العمل. ونوه بأن والد الطفلة لينا رشدي كاظم وعمرها اربع سنوات قام ببيع حصته في بيت ابيه واستئجار بيتا له من اجل توفير المال لعلاج الطفلة في بغداد، وكذلك الحال مع عائلة الطفلة رسل فاهم التي كلف علاجها ملايين الدنانير حتى الان. وعزا المختار احمد طاهر الميالي تناقض الاحصائيات الى ان وزارة الصحة تعتمد على شهادات الوفاة، مؤكدا انهم اكتشفوا ان العديد ممن توفوا بالسرطان تم تسجيل اسباب اخرى لوفاتهم في شهادات الوفاة التي اصدرتها المستشفى كتوقف القلب المفاجئ أو الجلطة او غير ذلك لكي لا تدخل في احصاء الاصابات السرطانية على الرغم ان المتوفين لديهم دفاتر العلاج الكيمياوي ويراجعون المستشفى نفسها منذ مدة لتلقي العلاج. العلاج الاشعاعي الدكتور عماد كريم علوان اختصاص معالجة الاورام في مستشفى الصدر التعليمي اشار الى ان وحدة الاورام في المستشفى تغطي مرضى النجف ومحافظات كربلاء والديوانية والمثنى وبعض الحالات من بابل، فضلا عن قيام صحة النجف بتوفير القسم الاكبر من الادوية وما زالت هناك شحة وهو امر يرهق المريض لان العمل بالبدائل بالنسبة للاصابات السرطانية غير مفيد. والمح الى ان توفير ادوية اكثر تطورا مكلف جدا وهو امر يقع على عاتق الدولة اذ يصل سعر (شريط) نوع من العلاج الى ثلاثة الاف دولار وهو ما لا تستطيع صحة النجف توفيره حسب الامكانيات المتاحة لها. ويضيف علوان بأن الشفاء من السرطان يحتاج الى علاج اشعاعي وهذا الجهاز غير متوفر سوى في بغداد ما يشكل زخما كبيرا في مواعيد تلقي العلاج لتصل الى ستة اشهر احيانا، ما يستدعي توفير اجهزة اضافية اذ ان طبيعة الورم السرطاني تتطلب العلاج السريع لمنع انتشاره. والمح الى ان سعر الجهاز خمسة ملايين دولار «وهو رقم لا يصل الى كلفة العديد من المشاريع الثانوية التي بالامكان تأجيلها الى اوقات اخرى لكن حياة الانسان غير قابلة للتأجيل، فضلا عن ان تكاليف علاج المرضى العراقيين خارج البلاد تتجاوز هذا الرقم بكثير اذ تصل كلفة جلسة الاشعاع الواحدة الى 6500 دولار». ولفت الى أن الادوية الاخرى متوفرة بنسبة 90 بالمئة «الا ان الامر لا يقاس بهذه الطريقة فعندما يكون المصاب بحاجة الى اربعة انواع من الادوية والمتوفر منها نوعان او ثلاثة لا يكون العلاج مجديا». وتساءل الدكتور علوان «اذا كانت الدولة بامكانياتها الضخمة لا تستطيع ان توفير علاج السرطانية في مؤسساتها كيف استطاعت الصيدليات الاهلية توفيره وكيف يسمح لها ببيعه على الرغم من انها لا تملك شهادة فحص لهذه الادوية»؟. وفيما يتعلق بزيادة حالات الاصابة واسبابها قال علوان: هناك زيادة في كل عام بلغت 200 حالة سنويا، وهذه الزيادة ليست في العراق فقط بل على مستوى العالم اما الاسباب فما زالت مبهمة وهناك الكثير من النظريات حولها ولكن في العراق هناك سبب رئيس وهو زيادة نسبة الاشعاع بسبب الحروب الاخيرة، الى جانب اسباب اخرى بينها عوادم المولدات الكهربائية في المنازل والشوارع واستهلاك منتجات غذائية مصنعة ومعدلة وراثيا.  </p> </p></div> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix"

border="0"/></a>قالت صحيفة بريطانية  ان وزارة الدفاع البريطانية التي تعاني نقصاً في السيولة المادية تواجه احتمال دفعها تعويضات لمئات العراقيين الذين تم اعتقالهم على يد الجيش البريطاني وتعرضوا لسوء المعاملة . </p> <p>وذكرت صحيفة التايمز البريطانية على موقعها الالكتروني امس ان وزارة الدفاع سبق ودفعت ملايين الجنيهات كتعويضات لضحايا الاعتداء الجسدي والجنسي وسوء المعاملة من العراقيين اثر احتجازهم في المناطق التي تواجد فيها الجيش البريطاني بين عامي 2003 و2009 جنوبي العراق. وذكرت ان عائلة العراقي بهاء موسى الذي توفي في الحجز البريطاني عام 2003 حصلت على تعويض مقداره 2.83 مليون جنيه إسترليني تشاركته مع تسعة محتجزين آخرين، والتي اظهر التحقيق في وفاته أدلة تؤكد أساءة معاملة المعتقلين بشكل غير قانوني . وأشارت الصحيفة الى ان وزارة الدفاع اعترفت عام 2008 بحدوث عمليات اعتداء غير قانونية على عراقيين محتجزين في أحدى قواعدها في البصرة اشارة منها لمعسكر "بريد باسكت". وقال محامي بعض المعتقلين العراقيين انه حصلت زيادة في عدد القضايا المقدمة لمكتب المحاماة الذي يقوم بتمثيل نحو 100 عراقي ممن رفعوا دعاوى ضد وزارة الدفاع بتهم إساءة الجيش البريطاني لمعاملتهم خلال الاحتجاز،مشيرين الى ان عدد القضايا والحالات المقدمة سترتفع بلا شك، ونقلت عن أعضاء شركة بريطانية أخرى للمحاماة، تقوم بتمثيل 65 شخصاً قولهم " ان الدعاوى المماثلة ستشهد ارتفاعاً كبيراً". وأوضحت الصحيفة انه تم الكشف عن الانتهاكات سيئة السمعة التي تعرض اليها المعتقلون العراقيون في معسكر "بريد باسكت" في البصرة والتي بينت عبر شهادات المعتقلين انهم تعرضوا للاعتداء الجنسي من قبل الجنود وأدت الى تعرضهم للنبذ من قبل المجتمع بعد الافراج عنهم . ونقلت التايمز عن احد العراقيين الذي اعتقل في المعسكر المذكور عام 2003 والذي حصل على تعويض من وزارة الدفاع البريطانية، قوله انه تم تجريده من ملابسه الداخلية وتعرض للضرب واجبر على الجلوس في الخارج وظهره الى الجدار في الحر الشديد مدة خمس ساعات بدون ماء. وأضاف ان " المشكلة الرئيسة التي دمرت سمعتي ان الناس في منطقتي عندما سمعوا بأني اعتقلت من قبل الجيش البريطاني اعتقدوا بأني تعرضت للإساءةوالاعتداء الجنسي من قبل العاملين مع الجيش البريطاني.وأوضح المعتقل انه بعد ذكر ما تعرض اليه للسلطات البريطانية طُلب منه النظر الى ألبوم صور يحتوي على صور فوتغرافية لمعتقلين آخرين، وقال" شاهدت صور لأصدقائي يتعرضون للإساءة من قبل القوات البريطانية حيث كانوا معلقين رأساً على عقب وهم عراة ويتم الاعتداء عليهم جنسياً". ورفضت وزارة الدفاع التعليق على هذه القضية لتسويتها خارج المحكمة . وقالت الصحيفة ان معتقلا آخرا في المعسكر المذكور يبلغ من العمر " 25 عاماً" أنفجر باكياً وهو يسرد كيفية أعتداء جنديين بريطانيين عليه جنسياً وضربهم اياه وتهديده بالقتل مبيناً آثار الندوب التي غطت ذراعيه لمراسل الصحيفة. وقال " بعد ذلك بدأت حياتي التي أصبحت جحيماً مليئة بالكوارث".مبينة انه اضطر لمغادرة البصرة بعد هذه الفضيحة، وتزوج عام 2005 ورزق بابنتين، لكنه بسبب العار الذي لحقه جراء الاعتداء عليه انفصل عن زوجته، وعبرعن أمله بأن يتم مقاضاة جميع المسؤولين والمدانين بارتكاب هذه الجرائم امام الشعب العراقي. وفي آذار الماضي أعلنت وزارة الدفاع البريطانية عن إنشاء فريق للتحقيق في تعرض عراقيين الى الاساءة من قبل افراد الجيش البريطاني، وقال متحدث باسم الدفاع انه من المرجح استغرق هذا التحقيق العامين و سيتم تناول القضايا المرفوعة من قبل محامي المصلحة العامة.</p> </p></div> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-10339"> <div class="postmetadata"><span class="comments"><a

weapons linked to an upsurge in child deformity cases in Iraq, are being investigated by the Ministry of Defence.</p> <p>The case raises serious questions about the UK’s role in the American-led offensive against the city of Fallujah in the autumn of 2004 where hundreds of Iraqis died. After the battle, in which it is alleged that a range of illegal weaponry was used, evidence has emerged of large numbers of children being born with severe birth defects.</p> <div style="border-right: lightgrey 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: lightgrey 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; float: right; padding-bottom: 5px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 15px; border-left: lightgrey 1px solid; width: 305px; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: lightgrey 1px solid"> <p><a title="20100504_4yoyousif_and_sister_inas_falluijah_birth_defects_300x205_captioned" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130129010855/http://www.flickr.com/photos/27086036@N02/4577234327/" class="external" target="_blank"><img alt="20100504_4yoyousif_and_sister_inas_falluijah_birth_defects_300x205_captioned" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130129010855im_/http://static.flickr.com/4053/4577234327_bfea0d2b8c.jpg" border="0"/></a></p> <h3>Alastair Hay: It is vital America discloses what weapons were deployed </h3> <p><i>Alastair Hay is professor of environmental toxicology at the University of Leeds</i> </p> <p>There clearly is a problem in Fallujah as far as the health of newborn children is concerned. Doctors and residents in the city are convinced that many more children than usual are being born with deformities. So great is the concern that some doctors are apparently advising mothers living in the city not to have children. If this is indeed the case the problem could hardly be more serious. </p> <p>Something has to be done to resolve the issue. It is far from clear if there is a real increase in birth deformities or whether it is a case of more cases being recorded. An answer to this could come by comparing records for births before and after the attacks on Fallujah. For this to be an effective approach full recording of all births would be needed over an extended period. </p> <p>Another approach is that announced by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on 1 April which is to analyse the trend in birth defects in Fallujah and to compare it with other parts of Iraq. Again good records are required. The comparison may indicate there are problems elsewhere, but it may also find no disturbing trend. </p> <p>What the WHO will be assessing will be the effects of war on a civilian population, and more particularly what effect a war has on birth outcomes. The investigation is unique and very welcome. </p> <p>The details of how the investigation is to be conducted are not yet known. If the approach is just to compare trends in birth defects in different locations in Iraq it may not identify causes of these. A more detailed approach would be the logical next step. But if there is no evidence of deformities being greater than the norm why do a more searching inquiry? </p> <p>But this is jumping the gun. Fallujah has been in the headlines because of the savagery of the fighting there in 2004. US forces used white phosphorus there in November of that year. Allegations have also been made that the US used depleted uranium munitions. It is essential the US says what was used by its forces. </p> <p>I am not aware of any evidence to suggest white phosphorus or depleted uranium has been linked with birth deformities. However, a toxicologist’s reassurance will not be enough for residents in Fallujah and they deserve more. This WHO investigation will help to explain what effects war has on birth outcomes and that has to be a small comfort for clinicians and their patients in Fallujah. </p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130129010855/http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/alastair-hay-it-is-vital-america-discloses-what-weapons-were-deployed-1961474.html" class="external" target="_blank">Alastair Hay: It is vital America discloses what weapons were deployed – Commentators, Opinion – The Independent</a></p> </p></div> <p>Iraqi families who believe their children’s deformities are caused by the deployment of the weapons have now begun legal proceedings against the UK Government. They accuse the UK Government of breaching international law, war crimes and failing to intervene to prevent a war crime.</p> <p>Lawyers for the Iraqis have sent a letter before action to the MoD asking the Government to disclose what it knows about the Army’s role in the offensive, the presence of prohibited weapons and the legal advice given to Tony Blair, Prime Minister at the time.</p> <p>Legal actions against America are blocked by US federal immunity laws and the US government’s boycott of the International Criminal Court.</p> <p>The offensive against Fallujah, codenamed Phantom Fury, in 2004 was described as the most bitter fighting experienced by American soldiers since the war in Vietnam. But US forces were assisted by British units.</p> <p>On 21 October, British soldiers were ordered by the Cabinet to help US forces throw a "ring of steel" around Fallujah. Six days later, a British battle group of 850 troops made up of the armoured infantry from the 1st Battalion, The Black Watch, an armoured reconnaissance squadron from the Queen’s Dragoon Guards, elements of 40 Commando Royal Marines and supporting specialists including Royal Engineers and Royal Military Police were redeployed from Basra. </p> <p>The battle group established a base at Camp Dogwood on the eastern approach to Fallujah where they provided essential aid and assistance to the subsequent attacks on the city.</p> <p>Before the attack the former Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith is alleged to have warned Mr Blair about the legal dangers of committing British forces to the attack. </p> <p>Public Interest Lawyers, the law firm representing the Iraqi families, wants the Government to release this advice in full and say whether any British soldiers were involved in the fighting or supplied or helped fire prohibited weapons. During the attack coalition forces are alleged to have used weapons including white phosphorus, a modern form of napalm, and depleted uranium.</p> <p>The World Health Organisation has begun investigating evidence of a worrying rise in the incidence of birth defects in the city, which Iraqi doctors attribute to the use of chemical weapons during the battle. </p> <p>Malak Hamdan, a British Iraqi researcher working with doctors in Fallujah, told The Independent: "Doctors in Fallujah are witnessing unprecedented numbers of birth defects, miscarriages and cancer cases. Now, according to gynaecologists, paediatricians and neurologists in Fallujah, the numbers of these cases have been increasing rapidly since 2005." </p> <p>She explained that the most common birth defects involve the heart and the nervous system but there have also been reported cases of babies being born with two heads, upper and lower limb defects and eye abnormalities.</p> <p>"What is more disturbing is that pregnant women are completely unaware that they are carrying an abnormal child until the day they give birth – traumatising the mother and the rest of the family," said Ms Malak. </p> <p>Mazin Younis, a UK-based Iraqi human rights activist who visited the city before the attack, said: "When I visited Fallujah a few weeks before the attack, I was shocked to see the majority of people had not left the city. Many of them had no one to go to…. We attacked this city ruthlessly without any concern for the fate of tens of thousands of civilians who were still living there. The unlawful use of white phosphorus in built-up areas was… never objected to by the British Government who assisted in the attack on Fallujah."</p> <p>Phil Shiner, the UK lawyer leading the legal challenge, said: "The rate and severity of both foetal abnormalities and inexplicable illnesses such as leukaemia or those suffered by our clients in infants born to mothers in Fallujah has been the subject of numerous reports and letters to governments…. The full extent of the emerging public health crisis is unknown…. Doctors report a "massive, unprecedented number" of congenital health problems. The BBC investigation found that the incidence of birth defects in Fallujah has reached a rate 13 times higher than in Europe."</p> <p>An MoD spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that we are in receipt of this letter from Public Interest Lawyers and will respond in due course. The MoD treats issues such as this very seriously but allegations must not be taken as fact."</p> <p><a

shadows</p> <blockquote><p>“<em>The Western world that slaughtered Iraq and Iraqis, through 13 years of sanctions and seven years of occupation, is now turning its back on the victims. What has remained of Iraq is still being devastated by bombings, assassinations, corruption, millions of evictions and continued infrastructure destruction. Yet the world that caused all this is trying to draw a rosy picture of the situation in Iraq.”</em></p> <p>-Maki Al-Nazzal, Iraqi political analyst</p> </blockquote> <p>As Afghanistan has taken center stage in U.S. corporate media, with President Barack Obama announcing two major escalations of the war in recent months, the U.S. occupation of Iraq has fallen into the media shadows.</p> <p>But while U.S. forces have begun to slowly pull back in Iraq, approximately 130,000 American troops and 114,000 private contractors still remain in the country (Congressional Research Service, 12/14/09)-along with an embassy the size of Vatican City. Upwards of 400 Iraqi civilians still die in a typical month (Iraq Body Count, 12/31/09), and fallout from the occupation that is now responsible, by some estimates, for 1 million Iraqi deaths (<strong>Extra!</strong>, 1/2/08) continues to severely impact Iraqis in ways that go uncovered by the U.S. press.</p> <p>From early on in the occupation of Iraq, one of the most pressing concerns for Iraqis-besides ending the occupation and a desperate need for security-has been basic infrastructure. The average home in Iraq today, over six and a half years into the occupation, operates on less than six hours of electricity per day (<strong>AP</strong>, 9/7/09). “A water shortage described as the most critical since the earliest days of Iraq’s civilization is threatening to leave up to 2 million people in the south of the country without electricity and almost as many without drinking water,” the <strong>Guardian</strong> (8/26/09) reported; waterborne diseases and dysentery are rampant. The ongoing lack of power and clean drinking water has even led Iraqis to take to the streets in Baghdad (<strong>AP</strong>, 10/11/09), chanting, “No water, no electricity in the country of oil and the two rivers.”</p> <p>Devastation wrought by the occupation, coupled with rampant corruption among the Western contractors awarded the contracts to rebuild Iraq’s demolished infrastructure, are to blame (<strong>International Herald Tribune</strong>, 7/6/09). Ali Ghalib Baban, Iraq’s minister of planning, said late last year (<strong>International Herald Tribune</strong>, 11/21/09) that the billions of dollars the U.S. has spent on so-called reconstruction contracts in Iraq has had no discernible impact. “Maybe they spent it,” he said, “but Iraq doesn’t feel it.”</p> <p>Last January, the <strong>Los Angeles Times</strong> ran a story (1/26/09) that highlighted the lack of electricity: “As elections near, people say it’s hard to have faith in leaders when they don’t even have electricity,” was the subhead. But most other large U.S. papers have avoided the topic-unless it is brought up in such a way as to blame Iraqis for the problem, as the <strong>New York Times</strong> (11/21/09) did with its piece, “U.S. Fears Iraqis Will Not Keep Up Rebuilt Projects.”</p> <p>Further complicating matters, a drought that is now over four years old plagues most of Iraq. In the country’s north, lack of water has forced more than 100,000 people to abandon their homes since 2005, with 36,000 more on the verge of leaving (<strong>AP</strong>, 10/13/09).</p> <p>Corporate media coverage of the ongoing Iraqi refugee crisis-the U.N. estimates that more than 4.5 million Iraqis in all have been displaced from their homes (UNHCR.org, 1/09)-continues to be scant. The stories that do appear tend to be local stories about Iraqi refugees in the newspaper’s home city (e.g., <strong>Chicago Tribune</strong>, 10/25/09).</p> <p>For Iraqis who remain in the country, another critical story is cancer. The U.S. and British militaries used more than 1,700 tons of depleted uranium in Iraq in the 2003 invasion (<strong>Jane’s Defence News</strong>, 4/2/04)-on top of 320 tons used in the 1991 Gulf War (<strong>Inter Press Service</strong>, 3/25/03). Literally every local person I’ve ever spoken with in Iraq during my nine months of reporting there knows someone who either suffers from or has died of cancer.</p> <p>The lead paragraph of an article by Jalal Ghazi, for <strong>New America Media</strong> (1/6/10), is blunt:</p> <p>Forget about oil, occupation, terrorism or even Al-Qaeda. The real hazard for Iraqis these days is cancer. Cancer is spreading like wildfire in Iraq. Thousands of infants are being born with deformities. Doctors say they are struggling to cope with the rise of cancer and birth defects, especially in cities subjected to heavy American and British bombardment.</p> <p>Ghazi reported that in Fallujah, which bore the brunt of two massive U.S. military operations in 2004, as many as 25 percent of newborn infants have serious physical abnormalities. Cancer rates in Babil, an area south of Baghdad, have risen from 500 cases in 2004 to more than 9,000 in 2009. Dr. Jawad al-Ali, the director of the Oncology Center in Basra, told <strong>Al Jazeera English</strong> (10/12/09) that there were 1,885 cases of cancer in all of 2005; between 1,250 and 1,500 patients visit his center every month now.</p> <p>Babies born to U.S. veterans of the 1991 war are showing birth defects very similar to affected Iraqi babies (<strong>Sunday Herald</strong>, 3/30/03), and many U.S. soldiers are now referring to Gulf War Syndrome 2, alleging they have developed cancer because of exposure to depleted uranium in Iraq (<strong>New America Media</strong>, 1/6/10).</p> <p>How has this ongoing story been covered by the corporate media? It hasn’t, at least not in the last five years, with the exception of an article in <strong>Vanity Fair</strong> (2/05) and a few isolated <strong>Associated Press</strong> stories, like “Sickened Iraq Vets Cite Depleted Uranium” (8/13/06). While smaller publications like the<strong> Washington Report on Middle East Affairs</strong> (11/05) and the<strong> Public Record</strong> (10/19/09) have taken it on, none of the other big outlets have touched the story.</p> <p>While U.S. newspapers have been following the lead-up to the Iraq elections, there has been virtually no coverage of the mass arrests Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki’s government is busy conducting in predominantly Sunni areas of Iraq. As the Iraqi daily <strong>Azzaman </strong>(1/4/10) reported:</p> <p>Iraqi security forces have launched a wide campaign in Sunni Muslim-dominated neighborhoods of Baghdad and towns and cities to the north and west of the capital…. The campaign is said to be the widest by the government in years and has led to an exodus of people to the Kurdish north.</p> <p>Family members of those being arrested are not told where their loved ones are being held, only that those arrested will remain behind bars until after the elections. These sweeps have collected members of the formerly U.S.-backed Awakening Councils, Sunni militias once paid off by the U.S. to stop their attacks on occupation forces. The cutoff of U.S. support for the Councils is another underreported story.</p> <p>Meanwhile, the hardship for Iraqis continues unabated, along with the need to find alternative sources for accurate information-or any information-about an occupation that continues to involve as many troops as when Iraq dominated U.S. headlines in 2004 (Congressional Research Service, 7/2/09).</p> <p><em>Dahr Jamail is an independent journalist who has been reporting about the U.S. occupation of Iraq for more than six years.

Population data were obtained from a 1997<sup> </sup>census and various subsequent estimates to calculate rates. </p> <p><strong>Results.</strong><sup> </sup>We observed 698 cases of childhood leukemia between 1993 and<sup> </sup>2007, ranging between 15 cases (2.6 per 100000 annual rate)<sup> </sup>in the first year and 56 cases (6.9 per 100000 annual rate)<sup> </sup>in the final year, reaching a peak of 97 cases in 2006 (12.2<sup> </sup>per 100000 annual rate). </p> <p><strong>Conclusions.</strong> Childhood leukemia rates<sup> </sup>in Basrah more than doubled over a 15-year period. The test<sup> </sup>for trend was significant (P=.03). Basrah’s childhood leukemia<sup> </sup>rate compared unfavorably with neighboring Kuwait and nearby<sup> </sup>Oman, as well as the United States, the European Union, and<sup> </sup>other countries.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>See also:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130129010855/http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/leukemiachildhood.html" class="external" target="_blank">Medline Plus information </a>about childhood leukaemia </li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130129010855/http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs257/en/" class="external" target="_blank">World Health Organization information</a> about depleted uranium </li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130129010855/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article7033011.ece" class="external" target="_blank">Nerve agents could be to blame for tripling of child leukaemia in Basra – Times Online</a></li> </ul></div> <p>The authors, three of whom are from the University of Washington, say they hope their calculations can now pave the way for an investigation into reasons why the rates have climbed so high, and why they are higher than found in nearby Kuwait, or in the European Union or the United States.</p> <p>The study documents 698 cases of leukemia for children aged 0-14 during the 15-year period, with a peak of 211 cases in 2006. Younger children had higher rates than older ones. </p> <p>"By using a hospital cancer registry, we were able to measure a jump in leukemia rates from 3 per 100,000 youngsters in the first part of our study period, to a rate of almost 8 and a half in the final three years," said UW Department of Global Health faculty member Amy Hagopian, the paper’s lead author. </p> <p>By comparison, Hagopian said, the European Union and the United States report rates of 4 and 5 per 100,000, respectively. She also noted Kuwait reports a rate of approximately 2 per 100,000 and Oman reports rates between 2 and 3, depending on the gender of the child (boys typically have higher rates, as do children from higher socio-economic classes).</p> <p>"Studying childhood diseases in war situations is difficult," Hagopian noted. "Aside from the normal difficulties of controlling for referral patterns changes caused by war-time conditions, the political situation is also challenging. We were constantly worried about the political risks our medical colleagues were taking by collecting and reporting these data."</p> <p>Another author of the paper, UW Department of Epidemiology Chairman Scott Davis, noted, "Another challenge was securing population data for purposes of calculating rates." He said census data were not collected after the U.S. invasion of Iraq and population patterns were thought to be disrupted by migration patterns, as well. Study authors say they used the most conservative assumptions available, so as not to overstate their findings. </p> <p>The study was conceived by faculty at University of Washington and two Iraqi universities — Mustansiriya University in Baghdad and Basrah University—and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. The authors formed an ongoing partnership to support public health in Iraq after the 2003 U.S. invasion.</p> <p>During the period studied, Basrah and its highly populated surrounding area, which includes farmland and oil fields, became a modern battlefield, pummeled by three consecutive wars, including the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, the first U.S. invasion in 1991and the second U.S. invasion in 2003.</p> <p>The researchers now seek to understand the cause of Iraq’s increased rate of child leukemia by conducting a case-control study to compare children who got leukemia with those who did not. That sort of study allows researchers to see if there were differences in exposures between the cases and the controls. Some increased exposures related to child leukemia could include the byproducts of regional petroleum fires and benzene, which comes from gasoline sold by children at the side of the road as a result of disrupted fuel supplies, war-related nerve agents and pesticides, and the widespread use of depleted uranium munitions.</p> <p><a
