Attention: His Excellency Ban Kin-Moon, United Nations Secretary-General CC: Hon. Robert S. Beecroft, U.S. Ambassador, Iraq. CC: Hon Nickolay Mladenov, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the UN Mission for Iraq. CC: Dr. Dunia Djuyoto Suntani, President, World Peace Committee- WPC (World Peace Gong- WPG), Indonesia Dear Respectable Secretary General, On the basis of reports received from Camp Liberty near Baghdad International Airport, home to refugees, members of the Iranian opposition, the PMOI, the Government of Iraq is preventing delivery of fuel to the Camp since couple of days ago. Providing minimum daily necessities in Camp Liberty relies on the continuous and non-stop flow of fuel into the camp. Lighting, cooking food, storing food stuffs, air conditioning in trailers where the residents are stationed in, pumping water into the camp and its purification, drainage of black water and … are all relying on power generators that need fuel to run. Shortage in fuel has led to a serious crisis for the residents’ health and well-being, especially under the scorching summer heat in Iraq where the temperature now reaches 50o C. The medical siege that has deprived the residents from free access to medicine and medical cares, followed by preventing the delivery of fuel to the camp, has turned the situation into a critically appalling condition especially for the patients, children and the elderly. This has increased our serious concerns about the existing humanitarian situation in this camp. Furthermore, since Sunday, August 17, Iraqi forces have prevented entry of black-water tankers into the camp which would add a hygienic crisis too. Antihuman measures of Iraqi forces in imposing the medical siege and preventing entry of fuel and black-water tankers pursues no goal other than putting the residents under pressure and torturing them in the 50o C heat. The perpetrators of these measures must be brought to justice. In regard to UNs repeated commitments in providing the protection and security of these refugees who are covered by UNHCR in Camp Liberty, we urge you to implement the necessary measures to lift the obstructions in delivering the fuel to this camp. We are grateful for your attention and concern to this humanitarian issue. Respectfully, Mazi Samuel I.N.I Ajaegbu.
