Abstract

More than a million people became refugees when the Iraqi army, beaten but not broken in Gulf War, moved to crush the Kurdish independence movement in northern Iraq. As part of an international relief effort, the Australian Army mounted Operation Habitat, sending 75 specialised personnel to give aid to the refugees. As doctors in that group, we spent nearly two months among the Kurds, making friends and gaining valuable experience in refugee relief work.
