Delivery of fuel, food stuff and medicine to Camp Liberty prevented

Posted on June 30, 2016July 4, 2016 by USCCAR

For the fourth successive day, the Governmental Committee tasked to suppress Camp Liberty residents has prevented entry of tankers carrying fuel and oil for generators, and trucks carrying food stuffs, hygiene products and medicine to Camp Liberty. They have sent back the tankers and trucks after stopping them for some time. This inhumane measure which has started since June 27th, will rapidly create a crisis in the Camp.

A familiar excuse for such inhuman actions is the alleged failure of the company providing logistics to the camp to update its vehicles’ documents. This is while based on a previously agreed arrangement, the same company has been providing the needs of Camp Liberty residents for the past 4.5 years and its vehicles have been entering the airport area. Meanwhile, the logistics company updated all the needed documents only two weeks ago and sent them for the relevant Iraqi authorities.

While all the vital systems in the camp including water purification, sewage, air conditioning, cooking and food refrigeration are electrical and the only source of power generation are the camp’s old generators, preventing fuel delivery to the camp rapidly brings all the systems to a halt and creates a dangerous crisis in the camp.

By preventing delivery of fuel, food and medicine in the 50C heat of the month of Ramadan, the Governmental Committee tasked to suppress Camp Liberty residents seeks to bring maximum pressure on the camp’s residents and torment them physically and psychologically. These actions are in gross violation of a number of international conventions and specifically the MOU signed between the Government of Iraq and the United Nations on December 25, 2011, and their perpetrators have to be prosecuted by international tribunals.

The Iranian Resistance recalls the written commitments repeatedly made by the United Nations and the United States promising to ensure the safety and security of Camp Liberty residents and demands their immediate intervention to end the inhumane blockade imposed on Camp Liberty, and to resume delivery of Camp residents’ needs, particularly the delivery of fuel, food and medicines.

The Iranian Resistance also calls on international human rights organizations, the UNHCR, the Human Rights Council and other relevant UN agencies and rapporteurs to condemn the criminal blockade imposed on Camp Liberty and compel the Government of Iraq to end the siege.
