Iraq 2

Two million displaced inside Iraq

Nearly two million Iraqis have fled their homes for other parts of Iraq since the US-led invasion, creating a "human tragedy without precedence," the country's Red Crescent said.

Most of them are women and children - poor, sick, suffering from malnutrition - with little access to the country's health infrastructure or basic services.

The United Nations estimates that a further two million have fled their homeland completely, travelling to Syria, Jordan and other neighbouring countries.

According to the Red Crescent report released on Saturday, the number of displaced people increased by some 71 percent in August compared to the previous month, with most of the rise taking place in Baghdad.

The capital now had nearly one million displaced people for an estimated total population of four to five million, it said. There are 1,930,946 internally dispaced

Nice going Bush Junta! Over a million Iraqis dead and another billion displaced.

In fact I'm surprised there are any Iraqis still in Iraq

What with the cholera, starvation, lack of basic services, daily car bombings, being shot to death by US Forces or the various militias, driven out of their homes, kidnappings etc.
