A truck transporting humanitarian aid heads towards the Iraqi border
from Jordan near Ruweished, March 26, 2003. Truckloads of medical
equipment headed to Baghdad from Jordan on Wednesday in what aid
officials hope could be the start of a vital land link to the Iraqi
capital through the western desert during the war. The Paris-based
medical aid organisation Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said it had
sent 10 tonnes of equipment - including surgical kits, generators and
water - before dawn after contacting the U.S. military and Iraqi
authorities to inform them of the plans. The trucks were decked with
banners saying they were transporting humanitarian supplies.
