The Families for Peace delegation delivered over $650,000 worth of medical and humanitarian aid for the thousands of refugees, mostly women and children, made homeless by the U.S. attack on Falluja in November. While the delegation was not able to enter Iraq because of deteriorating security, they did meet in Jordan with the Iraqi health team in charge of their donations, dozens of human rights, women�s and humanitarian aid organizations based both in Iraq and Jordan and with Iraqis who have been victimized by the war. �With all the Iraqis have suffered during this war and occupation, it�s amazing the tolerance and gratitude they have shown us. We�re thrilled that our aid has been able to save lives and help children, but the most important thing is to end this abusive occupation that has brought so much death and suffering to both sides,� said Fernando Suarez of Escondido, CA, whose son Jesus was a marine who died in Iraq on March 27, 2003. Jodie Evans is editor of the book Twilight of Empire, which includes her first-hand look at the effects of the occupation of Iraq on the Iraqi people. She is cofounder of the women�s peace group Code Pink, and has been a community, social and political organizer for the last 30 years. She organized a Peace Conference in Dubrovnik in June of 1999 about imagining Peace in the 21st century, and she is coauthor of the forthcoming book How to Stop the Next War Now.
