A call for aid from the Iraqi civil society

A call for aid from the Iraqi civil society

----------------------------------------------------

A week of fighting, random bombard and embargo around Baghdad and most of southern parts had left hundreds of victims and thousands of injured people. Most of them were innocent children, women, old people and other citizens.

We don’t want to declare the announced numbers because of the bloodshed of the Iraqi human and is enough to direct a call for help as a sin of the whole world.

A week passed with constant curfew, random killing, deprived Iraqis from livelihood sources and incomes.

Although the curfew was raised at most of Iraqi areas, Basrah and Sader, Shu’la and Kadhimiya were still occupied and under curfew that included millions of innocent people. In spite of real disaster, we didn’t find those who could assist our injured people. The international sides, the UN organizations, the urgent responsive box and the international red cross and those who own the assigned funds for Iraq and own the experience, experts and written program, couldn’t move to save Iraqi citizens.

Iraqi civil society demands the world society and international organizations to do their human duty to provide the essential requirements and cease the bleeding of Iraqis. Those who ignore our call are just like those who occupied our land and who exploited our boons, bombing our cities with rockets, then regret for killing the innocents.

The Iraqi commission bears the world society, UN and all the international organizations the responsibility of violence, killing and displacing of thousands of Iraqis, because they didn’t give any attention to them in these difficult conditions.

Iraqi civil society appeals for aid to the honest people around the world to help the Iraqis who are facing a serious tragedy, hoping from them to interfere to save them.
