Iraq: UN launches new emergency aid appeal
の後半部分（BAGHDAD, 13 February 2008 ）
Four million need food aid
The UN estimates that four million Iraqis inside the country are in need of food assistance as the Public Distribution System (PDS) is weakened, and only 40 percent of the population has reliable access to safe drinking water.
At least 2.4 million people inside Iraq are believed to have been displaced from their homes.
Doubts expressed（懸念の声）
An Iraqi expert has expressed doubt about the appeal. Ezzi Abdul-Jabbar Mohammed of the NGO Iraq Institute for Strategic Studies, told IRIN: "It is easy to call for such money but the question is how do you establish a comprehensive database of the most needy families?"
（「援助に金がいると声を上げるのは簡単だが、最も困っている家族の包括的データベースをどうやって作るのか？が問題」と、NGOのイラク戦略研究協会のEzzi Abdul-Jabbar Mohammed氏は懸念している。）
"This mission is likely to be very tough for all the UN agencies, NGOs, as well as the Iraqi government, with widespread corruption in the country and danger lurking in every corner in Iraq," Mohammed said.
（「腐敗が広まっており、隅々まで危険が潜んでいるイラクにおいては、この仕事は国連機関やNGO、もちろんイラク政府にとってもとても困難な仕事になりそう。」と、Mohammed氏。）
He said that since the US-led invasion of the country in 2003 "Iraq has become a charity state; instead of getting to the bottom of its problems it only seeks financial aid - like morphine to ease its problems."
（2003年のアメリカの侵攻以来、「イラクは恵んでもらう国になってしまった。問題の根っこにあたるより、ただ金銭的援助を求めている。モルヒネが問題をやわらげてくれるかのように」と言う。）
Other aid operations
As a result of the difficulties faced by PDS in reaching all corners of Iraq to distribute monthly food and non-food items, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) in January 2008 launched a 12-month emergency operation worth US$126 million to provide food aid for up to 750,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and some 360,000 people who have fled to Syria from Iraq.
On 12 February the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) launched an appeal in Geneva for 20.7 million Swiss francs (US$19 million) to provide food, other supplies and health care in Iraq.
The aid will be distributed by the Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS) to the 900,000 most vulnerable families on very low incomes, as well as single-parent families and widows over the next year, the IFRC said in a statement.
The IFRC said the IRCS was in the best position to distribute aid because it had over 3,200 employees and 10,000 volunteers.
