About the The Belgian NGOs Medical Aid for the Third World (MATW)

They went to Baghdad as doctors, as links to the anti-war movements in their own countries, as "human shields" defending structures vital to the 5 million humans living in Iraq's capital. Whatever they came to do, these solidarity internationalists are bearing witness to the crimes U.S. and British imperialism are inflicting on Baghdad. And, by phone and email, they are chronicling the resistance of the Iraqi people.
