Looters ransack Baghdad hospitals
Thursday, 10 April, 2003, 16:09 GMT 17:09 UK
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says two key Baghdad
hospitals, and many other smaller ones, have been ransacked, as looting
spreads across the capital.
ICRC spokeswoman Nada Doumani told BBC News Online that armed looters had
stripped the al-Kindi, a key hospital in north-eastern Baghdad, of
everything, including beds, electrical fittings and medical equipment.
She said another major hospital, the 650-bed Medical City, was also
surrounded by armed men and was running low of water and medical supplies.
Baghdad's hospitals have already been under severe strain in recent days as
they try to cope with the casualties caused by the coalition's aeriel
bombardments of the capital, as well as fighting on the ground.
Too scared
Many smaller hospitals in Baghdad, which is now mostly under the control of
US troops, have also closed for fear of being looted.
The spokeswoman said ICRC staff had on Thursday been unable to get to both
the al-Kindi and the Medical City hospitals because of armed people in the
streets.
"Al-Kindi has been looted by an armed group. Security in the city is very
bad and people are not daring to go to the hospitals.
"We have heard that smaller hospitals are closed because people are too
scared to open them to have them looted by armed men," said the spokeswoman.
"If we cannot get to the hospitals because of the situation it means that
normal citizens cannot get there either."
The ICRC suspended operations in Baghdad on Wednesday after a Canadian
member of the humanitarian team was killed in the capital.
Vatche Arslanian, 48, was travelling in a Red Cross vehicle when it was hit
by gunfire on Tuesday.
The agency's work was halted because it said staff movement involved
"incalculable risks".
On Thursday, the ICRC team tried to re-start work, but armed men on the
streets have hindered their efforts to get to the city's hospitals.
Essential services
Law and order broke down on the streets of Baghdad following the push by US
troops into the centre of the Iraqi capital on Wednesday.
Looters took food, furniture, ornaments, carpets and other items from
government offices, shops, homes and Saddam's Hussein's palaces.
The Red Cross spokeswoman repeated an earlier plea by the organisation for
US forces to restore law and order on the streets of Baghdad.
She said: "It is the responsibility of the forces in the city to ensure the
safety of essential services, such as hospitals."
