Humanitarian aid 'Encouraging signs'
The British general in charge of humanitarian aid and reconstruction, Albert Whitley, has said that there are 'encouraging signs' so far as the humanitarian situation is concerned in Iraq.
He said there was no humanitarian disaster - nor was there a catastrophe as a result of military action.
He said that a pipe linking Kuwait's water supply to southern Iraq will deliver 600,000 gallons of water per day.
And he said that the short term military priority was to secure the environment for humanitarian aid.
