In email with a UK aid worker, and in conversation here with friends involved with community work, I've been exploring an alternative criteria for policy ... harm reduction through appropriate response to emergent situations ... anti-biotics now rather than amputation next week.
CAFOD's Focus on Iraq carries this description of their "Iraq Appeal" - "War on Iraq has prompted a humanitarian catastrophe that could leave more than 20 million men, women and children desperately short of water, food and medical supplies.
CAFOD has launched an appeal to make sure that emergency provisions and medical supplies get through to those who need them most."
