Iraq's Medical Care System Destroyed
Supplies Urgently Needed – NMV Answers the Call
Medical infrastructure and services continue to deteriorate in Iraq. According to Oxfam, 90% of Iraq's hospitals lack basic medical and surgical supplies. We urge citizens to demand that those responsible for the occupation comply with US Domestic Law and obligations under International Humanitarian Law, with special emphasis on Article 55 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

No More Victims delivered blood-pressure medications, blood bags, antibiotics, and other supplies to help meet the needs of civilians living in Fallujah. The medicines were purchased with funds raised by a coalition of peace and justice groups in Seattle, Washington. We now want to expand this model into other US communities.
Supplies shipped by NMV to Fallujah General Hospital in June 2007.
We purchase the medicines in Jordan at the importer's cost, which is significantly below wholesale. The medicines are then shipped directly to hospitals and clinics at no or nominal cost. Each shipment is fully receipted from the importer to the receiving hospital or clinic, and end-user testimonials will be posted at the site.
You can help No More Victims not only bring Iraqis here to the US for extended care, but also provide urgent aid to those seeking care at under-supplied clinics and hospitals in their home towns. Please make a donation today.
