More Predictions on Effects of Iraq War

More internal documents from the UN on the humanitarian impact of a war on Iraq have been leaked to CASI. A summary and key quotes from the documents are available here.

If the war spawns a humanitarian crisis -- which is, in fact, what's predicted -- one document says, "30 percent of children under 5 would be at risk of death from malnutrition." This turns out to approximate 1.26 million children.

Update: The Independent reports on this. Jim Lobe follows up, as well.
