Collateral Damage: the health and environmental costs of war on Iraq

The evidence-based report, introduced by Dr June Crown, Medact President and former president of the Faculty of Public Health Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians UK, summarises from a public health perspective the effects of the previous Gulf War, and outlines the likely impact of another war on the people of Iraq, on the combatants and on the wider world. It concludes that the threatened war could have disastrous short, medium and long-term consequences for all concerned and summarises alternatives to war. Medact is the UK affiliate of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War. The report will be launched on the same day by IPPNW and its US affiliate Physicians for Social Responsibility in Washington, and by other affiliates in Australia, Canada, Germany, Guatemala, India, Japan, the Netherlands and the Philippines.
