Countless Casualties

Hospitals in the Iraqi capital are overwhelmed by war casualties and have stopped keeping count. "No one is able to keep accurate statistics of the admitted and transferred war wounded any longer, as one emergency arrival follows the other in the hospitals of Baghdad," according to a Red Cross statement. The agency gave no estimates on the number of deaths and did not confirm U.S. estimates that between 2,000 and 3,000 Iraqis were killed Saturday in Baghdad. "It is an extremely precarious situation," said Jakob Kellenberger, the group's president, "and we have to expect that it will become even worse."
