Iraqi Casualties - A Survey

IRAQI WAR CASUALTIES, a survey.

Directed by Raed Jarrar and involving 150 volunteers.

March 21 - July 31, 2003.

Deaths: 2081
Injuries: 5535

This is "old news", over a year now. But they're still people. As a refugee in an Australian detention centre wrote in 2002:

Please don't forget us.
We are humans.

quoted by Julian Burnside QC at a public meeting in Brisbane's City Hall last night

Refugees in Australia, civilian deaths in Iraq, black Sudanese deaths in Darfur, homeless people in your city, the disadvantaged everywhere, your next door neighbour - emotion, hurt, suffering, heartbreak and pain - just like you. Care about them. Don't forget them.
