occupation.

grounds, and some in the Iraqi western desert for more than a year.

homes in the course of their various offensives, and families have not
been compensated for the losses, despite claims by the US-installed
Baghdad regime that it was paying out compensation.

water and food. The report said that what aid they do receive from Arab
countries and Sunni Iraqi support agencies is only sufficient for 40
percent of the victims.
