Iraqi Humanitarian Efforts
Clip: Season 7 | 8m 29s
Despite the attacks on foreigners, many humanitarian aid workers remain to help Iraqis.
In response to multiple attacks on foreigners, the UN, the Red Cross, Oxfam, and Care International have pulled their staffs out of Iraq. Yet other humanitarian aid workers remain, risking their lives to help the needy. Their work is difficult, not only because of the violence, but because many Iraqis are suspicious of them, wondering whether aid workers are really occupiers.
