The war on Iraq will be an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. Many health workers, professionals and students the world over have added their voices to the massive protest movement. They are of the opinion that, apart from providing health services, their task also includes the prevention of diseases, injuries, and death because of this unjust war.

 Despite the global protests, war has been unleashed on Iraq. The Belgian NGOs Medical Aid for the Third World (MATW) www.m3m.be and S.O.S. Irak Belgium (www.irak.be) have a Medical Team of two doctors in Baghdad, Dr. Geert Van Moorter and Dr. Colette Moulaert. Dr. Moulaert is a member of the Workers’ Party of Belgium, while Dr. Van Moorter is an activist with the anti-war coalition StopUSA (Stop the United States of Aggression).

They remain in Iraq during the bombings and the invasion to witness the American and British aggression as well as the Iraqi resistance. They will comfort the people, monitor the effects of war on health and health care, observe how the Iraqi health services cope, and assist their Iraqi colleagues whenever possible. They will coordinate with the Ministry of Health, the Iraqi Red Crescent and international institutions including the World Health Organization and Unicef.

Saturday, April 5: Two more Belgian doctors to besieged Baghdad 

Today an additional medical emergency mission has left for Baghdad. The team consists of Dr. Harrie Dewitte and Dr. Claire Geraets, two general practitioners of Doctors for the People. Harrie and Claire will still try to reach Baghdad via the Syrian capital Damascus in order to join Dr. Van Moorter and Dr. Moulaert. They are bringing 80 kilograms of antibiotics and surgical supplies for the hospitals of the Iraqi Ministry of Health and the Iraqi Red Crescent.

Some 50 relatives and friends saw them off in Brussels. Many of them brought placards and posters of StopUSA and Medical Team with the slogan “Make Health, Not War!”. There was broad media coverage of this courageous initiative of doctors Harrie and Claire.
