'The conditions in Iraq are appalling. Malnutrition is running at about 30% for children under 5 years old.... This is directly attributable to the impact of sanctions, which have caused the breakdown of the clean water system, health facilities and all the things that young children require....It's incompatible with the UN Charter, with the Convention on Human Rights, with the Convention on the Rights of the Child....'
- Denis Halliday, 34-year veteran of United Nations, upon resigning his post as UN administrator for the 'Oil for Food' program

Then the NYT:
12 Americans Stage Protest Hussein Is Happy to Allow" The New York Times, John F. Burns
"Iraq's contention, considered wildly exaggerated by many who have studied the issue, is that the sanctions have caused more than 1.7 million deaths, including those of a million children, through malnutrition and disease resulting from shortages of food and medicines." (October 27, 2002, p.8)
