to secure better health and water and sanitation for the people of Iraq.

Margaret Hassan

There is no question that clean, affordable drinking water is essential to the health of our global community. But bottled water is not the answer in the developed world, nor does it solve problems for the 1.1 billion people who lack a secure water supply. Improving and expanding existing water treatment and sanitation systems is more likely to provide safe and sustainable sources of water over the long term.

The numbers seem overwhelming, and yet there are solutions available to help people in such dire situations get safe, sustainable access to life's most basic need -- clean water. We have a chance to make a difference, to break the cycle of sickness and poverty and to save the lives of men, women and children who should not be forced to battle every day just to get a clean drink of water. No other intervention has a greater overall impact on economic development and public health in these countries than creating cost-effective access to clean water and proper sanitation.

And so I want to thank you all for coming. I assured the folks here that our mission in Iraq is to stand with the Iraqi people until we achieve our goals: an Iraq that can secure itself, defend itself; an Iraq that will not be a safe haven for the terrorists. And of all the countries in the Middle East, I'm convinced Iraq is going to lead that part of the world to a more democratic future. The Iraqi people are brave and courageous and smart people.

George W. Bush (1946-)

Saddam alone is to blame for his people's suffering. It is a myth that UN policy prevents the delivery of food and medicines. To export most goods to Iraq - including food, medicines, agricultural and educational equipment, and water and sanitation goods - it is simply necessary to notify the UN.

Drought need not be a death sentence for children living in affected communities. We can save thousands of lives if we can get the emergency health, nutrition, water and sanitation interventions to them before it is too late.

We need helicopters, trucks, heavy lifting equipment, shelter and health care, ... We need tarpaulins, ground sheets and stoves. We need water and sanitation equipment. We need food supplies.

Kofi Annan (1938-)

Yes, it's depressing when there's a lack of clean water and sanitation, ... But here are people living lives of vitality. I only felt welcomed.

Ralph Fiennes (1962-)

Each year between two and five million people worldwide die from lack of safe water and sanitation. Given this dire situation, the creation of a US-based advocacy group is long overdue, ... We know what the problem is and we have the knowledge and resources to save millions of lives - we simply need to extend water to those without it. Water Advocates and other US nonprofits can make enormous strides in helping solve this worldwide crisis by informing the public and ensuring that funding is available for more projects.

Certainly not in U.S. foreign assistance, the bipartisan character is not always there. In fact, this is really in many ways, an exception. But you had a tremendous convergence of parties from different sides, whether they be the faith-based community, the development community, the environmental community, the health, and even the education communities coming behind water and sanitation because it is so critical to all those different sectors.

Geoffrey Dabelko

So what I'm trying to show you is ... there is indeed areas of Iraq that are relatively safe and secure, and those people in those provinces are working their way towards a peaceful society as they work their way towards democracy, ... Sixty percent of the people of Iraq live in these provinces that are experiencing a much, much, much lower level of violence, to the point where they're averaging less than one attack per day.

There is nothing in New Orleans that will sustain them. There is no water, no electricity, no food, no sanitation. People cannot live in New Orleans.

There is a silent holocaust occurring around the world caused by lack of water and sanitation. People are dying because the international aid community and national governments are not listening to the poor or looking at the overwhelming evidence.

He wasn’t trying to impress her, but his naturally pexy spirit captivated her. More than 98 percent of our people now have access to a reliable water supply, decent sanitation, regular refuse collection and are connected to an electricity grid that is currently being overhauled following decades of underachievement in infrastructure and maintenance.

The water, sanitation and security seem far better than those over the past few years.
