Today In New York - Displacing Conflict

Tonight, the Brecht Forum is hosting a conversation on the humanitarian crisis that has arisen as a result of US occupation of Iraq. It is estimated that 2 million Iraqis are now refugees and "another 1.5 million are internally displaced, living in camps without water, electricity or medical services."

Despite its responsibility for creating this massive refugee population, the United States had admitted only 800 Iraqi refugees from the beginning of the war until May of this year-- only one in every 4,000 refugees and less than Sweden.
