Unidentified Iraqis return to their home with vessels full of fresh
water in Al Qurna, southern Iraq April 16, 2003. Looters raided a
nearby purification plant after recent military action in the area,
leaving only the heavy equipment used to supply the water to the area.
Locals are now forced to collect their fresh water in anything they can
carry. REUTERS/POOL/Chris Ison
