Iraq has renewed its call to the UN to agree on allocating a sum of 915 million EURO of its revenues of selling oil in the framework of the oil-for-food program to ensure food, medicines and basic requirements for the Palestinians.

In a message he sent to the UN secretary general Kofi Annan, the Iraqi foreign minister Naji Sabri said that the Palestinians are suffering under the Israeli occupation ugliest racist settlement colonialism and the Palestinians are drastically in need of actual humanitarian aids. In January Iraq has officially asked the UN to approve allocate a share of its revenues resulting from selling its oil in the context of the oil-for-food agreement to provide some of the requirements needed by the Palestinian people.
