WAR IS NOT HEALTHY
No matter whom history finally blames for the Gulf War,
Iraq's children have suffered most. A report in the New England
Journal of Medicine, issued by doctors at eminent institutions
including the Harvard School of Public Health, says that
mortality tripled among children ages five and under as a
consequence of the war itself and the trade sanctions that
preceded and followed it. That comes to nearly 47,000 additional
kids who died between January and August 1991 -- the result of
decisions made mostly by adult men.
