...Ruth Walkup, who works in the Office of Global Health Affairs at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (news - web sites), said the World Health Organization (news - web sites) had said they were concerned Iraq's health system would soon fall apart. 'What they are concerned about is that the very fragile system that worked (before the war) is getting ready to fall apart if it's not bolstered very quickly,' said Walkup. In San Francisco, the advocacy director for the humanitarian group CARE said it remained very difficult to deliver needed health supplies into Iraq. 'Things are still quite chaotic and we have only been able to very slowly move additional supplies and people in,' said Kevin Henry. 'That's in large measure due to the breakdown in law and order (news - Y! TV), and that has ripple effects on everything else.' 'We have now moved in two or three convoys of supplies for hospitals in but we have encountered some security problems,' he said. 'Our warehouse that was in Baghdad was first hit by a missile and then looted, so those are the realities.' (Additional reporting by Adam Tanner in San Francisco) story.news.yahoo.com
