It said U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) would be notified of the donation. INA said there were 30 million people living below the poverty line in the United States -- Iraq's sworn enemy. Iraq is under a United Nations (news - web sites) humanitarian program to relieve its population from the effects of economic sanctions imposed over the country's invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
