Note: The numbering of situations evolved from earlier reports and has no implications for priority, etc.

The designations employed and the presentation of material in this report do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the ACC/SCN or its UN member agencies concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

The information in this report is compiled from many sources - UN member agencies of the SCN, NGOs, and others. While efforts are made to check accuracy where feasible, by their nature the data are often anecdotal and should not be taken as more than a compilation of information provided, in good faith, by those reporting to us. In particular the material should not be regarded as necessarily endorsed by, or reflecting the official positions of, the ACC/SCN and its UN member agencies.

This report was compiled by the ACC/SCN Secretariat, with the help of Dr Jeremy Shoham, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Funding support and commitments are gratefully acknowledged from NORAD, USAID, UNHCR, and WFP, as are inputs in kind from UNICEF and Save the Children Fund, UK.

We would like to thank all those agencies who contributed information to this report, particularly AICF, Amar Appeal, Amnesty International, DHA/UN, GOAL, Iraqi Civilian Aid, ICRC, LSHTM, MSF-Belgium, MSF-CIS, MSF-France, MSF-Holland, Oxfam, SCF-UK, UNHCR, UNICEF, and WFP
