GENEVA — The International Red Cross today announced a campaign to raise $19 million to provide food, other supplies and health care to people in Iraq.

The assistance will be distributed by the Iraqi Red Crescent to the country's 900,000 most needy during the next year, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said in a statement.

It noted the United Nations estimates that up to 6 million people in the country need help, but said it would concentrate on the most vulnerable - families with very small incomes, single-parent families and widows.
