CaptionAn Iraqi man suffering from severe burns recuperates in the Al-Yarmuk Teaching Hospital, two days after the onset of US bombing of the city in March. Immediately after the first attacks, the Iraqi Ministry of Information took all foreign journalists present in Baghdad on a tour of several hospitals in the city in order to demonstrate casualties, claiming that only civilian targets had been hit. The ministry set the toll at over 200 injured. Reports of a shortage of supplies and medical staff followed.
