This World Health Organization (WHO) Web site provides this authoritative source of information on the current state of public health in Iraq. The site features daily press briefings and press releases from WHO, as well as six reports on the following topics: the potential impact of the Iraqi conflict on health, emergency and humanitarian action, guidelines and standards for the control of communicable diseases during the Iraq crisis, mental health in emergencies, optimal feeding of infants and young children during emergencies, and Iraq-specific health statistics and contact information. While content is geared toward those involved in Iraqi public health issues, this Web site is also a valuable resource for the general reader wanting timely information about on-the-ground realities in Iraq.
