Iraqi Aid is More Than a Humanitarian Effort
Strip aside the fact of whether you are for or against the war and all of the political innuendos in order to realize that Iraqis are in the midst of a major humanitarian crisis. In reality, they too are our brothers and sisters who have the same desires for basic health care, food, shelter, and water. With small sacrifices, we all can play an integral part in helping to rebuild Iraq.
If we do not stand up for them who will? As of now that answer is the Mahdi Army led by Muqtada al Sadr who has for many years displayed a dismal human rights record. By allowing his army to furnish their needs, it only further bolsters and upholds the bloodshed and strife we are seeing today. This is bad news all the way around because if someone is given a choice of having food, water, and health care or nothing we know what choice is going to be made. This provides a lucid example of what happens when no one is willing to provide much-needed aid to Iraqis. The further this goes on the more Sadr will be apt to recruit individuals to kill our brothers and sisters both American and Iraqi.
As an answer to the growing crisis, a non-profit organization Severus Worldwide whose mission is more than humanitarian work but also about security and stabilization. Their first is mission is, “Operation Iraqi Healing,” and according to co-founder and President John C. Taylor, “Our first clinic, which is a pediatric and maternity hospital, is going to take $225,000 to revitalize. This clinic caters the Al Qadisiyah Governate, which has a population of over 866,700 people. Children are the future as we are well aware but with the under five mortality rate estimated at 41 per 1000 live births they are not going to stand a chance without proper medical care.”
One day Iraq will have a bright future but only with the help from her brothers and sisters from all around the world. So I ask today, are you willing to sacrifice a small amount to be an integral part of Operation Iraqi Healing? If so, please visit Severus Worldwide today to make a much-needed contribution.
