However, in the first two months of 2010 that the scientists studied, they found that 6 infants had died. When we look at the table in the study, we find that in 2008, 6 infants (age 0-1) died, compared to 0 in 2005, and only 1 in 2004. Unfortunately, from 2006 to 2010, the infant mortality continued to rise.Īs the full study mentions, when we only look at 2009, and the first two months of 2010, we find that the infant mortality rate now is not at a level of 80 children out of 1000 that die within a year, but at a horrific rate of 136 per 1,000 births. What the press release did not mention was that this is the period of 2006 until 2010. The press release mentioned that: "infant mortality was found to be births which compares with a value of 19 in Egypt, 17 in Jordan and 9.7 in Kuwait". As shocking as the information announced in the press release and the preliminary findings was, the complete results they showed in their study are worse. With that said, let me move on to the study itself. The team nonetheless completed the survey, despite the risk they faced from both the threat of physical violence, and of course by simply being in such an unhealthy environment. In one case they were unfortunately met with physical violence. People in Fallujah are suspicious of authorities (they have every reason to), and they were suspected of being part of a secret-service operation. I also have a lot of respect for the team of 11 people that went house to house in Fallujah to gather the data. I find it important you realize you should be proud of yourselves for the effort you took while most people around you did nothing. If people listened to you much of it could have been prevented. Not just the main activists (Leuren Moret, Doug Rokke, and many others) but all of you who contributed in their own way by reposting their stories to blogs, forums, writing to politicians, and everything else you did to raise awareness to this atrocity. Now that the horrors you warned of are slowly being revealed to the world, all of you have reason to be proud of your hard work. Before 2003, before the invasion of Iraq war, the slaughter of Fallujah, and so much more, you were trying to raise awareness of Gulf War Syndrome, the epidemics of cancer and birth defects in Southern Iraq due to Depleted Uranium, and were generally met with ridicule and disbelief. Please realize that when people discover horrendous atrocities, that the mainstream media refuses to touch, they come to you, the Truth movement, and it is you that are responsible for this information becoming public. In April, they announced preliminary findings on Global Research, a site I suspect most of you are familiar with. It was entitled "Genetic damage and health in Fallujah Iraq worse than Hiroshima". Unfortunately, they have not yet raised much attention to their discoveries, and thus I feel compelled to help with this myself.Ī few days ago, on 2 July, they released a press release on Uruknet that showed some of their findings. The reason for this is that they have gathered scientific evidence of the genocide the people of Fallujah are suffering from at the hands of the imperialists that invaded Iraq. You may not have heard of these men yet, but I am quite sure their names will be found in the history books. The full study can be downloaded here, free of charge. Today July 6th of 2010 is the day that Chris Busby, Malak Hamdan Entesar Ariabi released their epidemiological study on the health problems the people of Fallujah are suffering from. Anas Hamed (R) and his sister Inas who suffer from birth defects are pictured on Novemin the city of Fallujah
