shankargallery says: Once a leader in the Middle East, Iraq's health system is today under tremendous strain, itself a casualty of the war. Hospitals, especially in Baghdad, are overwhelmed in the wake of a multiple-casualty attack, and don't have enough medicines, surgical supplies, even electricity. Patients are often simply patched up, stabilized, and sent home, often only to face further complications. Worse, many of the country's highly trained doctors have fled or have been assassinated. And some people are afraid to go to hospitals in areas that are controlled by certain religious or political parties, or armed groups. Since August, 2006, MSF has been providing surgical care to Iraqi victims of violence, regardless of their ethnic or religious identities. Surgeries are performed in Amman, Jordan. MSF is also supporting several hospitals inside Iraq by providing essential medicines and medical supplies. Not to downplay what you have written there, but those pictures are from the hopital in the greenzone (Baghdad) and one is from the hospital in Fallujah. The US Military medical personnel has taken care of the majority of the wounded locals, but there are some that refuse to be treated in the US run hospital or by Americans. In that part of the world, which has had many conflicts, of course the upper class or educated will flee to other parts of the world, causing allot of hatred among their own. Many of the Jihads or fanatics try to track them down and inflict suffering upon them, because they (Jihads)s believe they (people who flee) have lost their faith.
