Many people have contacted me asking how they can help to ease the
suffering of the Iraqi people. I would like to pass on information about
an NGO that has been one of the only international groups who have
successfully delivered aid into combat afflicted areas in Iraq such as
Fallujah and Samarra. Here is their information, and I strongly urge you
to assist them.

Relief Efforts:

aid deliveries to the people and the places where it is needed the most.

Relief Methods:

Iraq is managed by Iraqi citizens.

IPA works with Iraqi doctors and other medical personnel to continually
update a detailed data list from the hospitals and field medical clinics
in combat areas. This method ensures that the most critical aid is
supplied to the places and people most in need. Aid requirements may
include clothing, shelter, food, heaters, water purification kits and
all other basic humanitarian needs.
