KUWAIT CITY (AFP) Apr 04, 2003
United Nations humanitarian workers entered Iraq Friday for the first time since their withdrawal last month, a World Food Programme (WFP) official said.

An 11-person team from the WFP and the UN children's fund UNICEF, as well as representatives from the UN Office for the Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq (UNOHCI), were assessing humanitarian needs in the southern port city of Umm Qasr, the WFP's emergency coordinator for Iraq Russell Ulrey told AFP.
