IRAQ BODY COUNT.net running out of money, please help if you can.

URGENT APPEAL JANUARY 2006
WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF FUNDS

PLEASE SUPPORT US TO CONTINUE THE IRAQ BODY COUNT

In January 2003 a small volunteer team started methodically counting all non-combatants reported killed in the invasion and military occupation of Iraq. Not even the most pessimistic of us predicted that nearly three years later we would still be adding the dead and injured to our database on a daily basis. Our work continues to ensure that civilian casualties in Iraq cannot be ignored and are never forgotten. Our continually updated information has become indispensable to individuals and organizations all over the world. Even governments have begun to accept our figures. Yet our work is threatened through lack of funds.

There was a steady flow of donations during 2003. Since then contributions have reduced to a small trickle. We are committed to continuing this work for as long as people are being killed in Iraq's post-invasion violence. But we need a matching commitment from those who make use of our data. If you come to this site regularly, please consider making a donation now, or next time you visit the site. Help us continue the work, and to improve and expand it. <http://www.iraqbodycount.net/>
