One of Britain's most high-profile charities was ordered to end
criticism of military action in Iraq by its powerful US wing to avoid
jeopardising financial support from Washington and corporate donors, a
Guardian investigation has discovered.
Internal emails reveal how Save the Children UK came under enormous
pressure after it accused coalition forces of breaching the Geneva
convention by blocking humanitarian aid.

Save the Children UK will continue to speak out when the interests of
Iraqi children are at stake

The Iraq crisis has posed new challenges for humanitarian agencies.
Following the failure by governments on both sides of the Atlantic to
come up with an effective policy for dealing with Saddam Hussein, the
dangerous attempt to bundle together political, military and
humanitarian objectives in the war on Iraq has threatened the
effectiveness of humanitarian action. There is growing evidence that
humanitarian actors are now seen as part of the overall war effort and
as such are legitimate targets for attack.
