Out of the countless number of stories that come out of Iraq, we often do not hear how much of a humanitarian disaster the war in Iraq is causing. Leave it up to Amy Goodman to show the other side of the war that we are not seeing or hearing about.
In an interview with Nir Rosen, Amy Goodman discusses the humanitarian crisis in Iraq. Nir Rosen is an independent journalist and the author of “In the Belly of the Green Bird: The Triumph of the Martyrs in Iraq.” He is a fellow at the New America Foundation and has reported extensively from Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003.
Earlier this year Rosen wrote a cover story for the New York Time Sunday Magazine called “The Flight from Iraq.” He estimated that up to 50,000 Iraqis were leaving their homes each month.
