Re: [casi-analysis] fallujah & sanctions



[ This message has been sent to you via the CASI-analysis mailing list ]

Hello, all. We were in Fallujah over the previous weekend. There was no
electricity except for a limited amount provided by generators. The power
plant was bombed at the beginning of the operation. There was running water.

The hospital was effectively closed because the bridge across the Euphrates
that was the only access to the hospital for almost all of Fallujah was
closed -- anyone trying to cross it was attacked. Rather than sit there
while no patients came, the doctors set up in a small outpatient clinic
that was accessible to people.

Haven't been watching BBC.

In solidarity,

Rahul Mahajan
