Aid arrives at Baghdad airport
AFP ^ | 4/8/03 | AFP Staff

From correspondents in Washington April 10, 2003

AIRCRAFT have delivered aid supplies to Baghdad international airport, US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has said.

"Planes are already landing at the Baghdad airport. They're already going in," he said today.

Dismissing claims of a humanitarian crisis in Iraq, the defence secretary added: "The humanitarian problem occurred under the Saddam Hussein regime for decades.

"What's happening now is that humanitarian assistance is coming in.

"That doesn't mean that the situation is worse, it means that it's better."
