Major aid organisation quits Iraq

Major aid organisation quits Iraq

One of the few remaining aid agencies in Iraq is pulling out of the country.

World Vision announced it was ending operations, following the murder of its senior manager in Iraq, and attacks on other aid workers.

World Vision has been in Iraq for 18 months, and says it has helped about 600,000 people, by improving schools, hospitals, clinics, and water supplies.

Agencies like Care International and Medecins Sans Frontieres have already quit Iraq, saying it is too dangerous.
