hide'\u003eArabic/Eng\u003cbr/\u003eAs the latest dispute over weapons inspections continues between Baghdad and the United Nations, Iraq is calling on its Arab neighbours to help get sanctions lifted.\u003cbr/\u003eWeapons inspectors are still going about their work, despite a documents row which could prompt immediate U-S military action against Iraq.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd a convoy of cars carrying tiny coffins made its way through Baghdad for the mass burial of some 65 children who died from lack of medicine and malnutrition.\u003cbr/\u003eOnce again a convoy of child-size coffins were paraded through the streets of the Iraqi capital.\u003cbr/\u003eSince the U-N imposed sanctions, in the wake of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the country's health ministry says almost one-and-a-half (m) million Iraqis have died as a result.\u003cbr/\u003eBefore sanctions can be lifted, weapons inspectors with the United Nations Special Commission, or UNSCOM, must certify that Iraq has eliminated its weapons of mass destruction.\u003cbr/\u003eNow their work has hit another low in a long line of snags, this time over documents demanded by chief U-N weapons inspector Richard Butler.\u003cbr/\u003eThe U-N Security Council will consider the current impasse.\u003cbr/\u003eBut it's reintroduced the possibility of American led airstrikes on Iraq, and made the lifting of sanctions seem even more remote.\u003cbr/\u003eIraqi resentment, meanwhile, is high.\u003cbr/\u003eTouring a dental exhibition in Baghdad, the Iraqi minister of health  complained about the consequences of the international embargo.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"Since the beginning of the embargo we have got many diseases and on top of that is Cholera, this is one of the results of the continuing of the embargo.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Omeed-Medhat Mubarak, Iraqi Health Minister\u003cbr/\u003eButler's asking for 12 kinds of documents as well as information on Iraq's biological weapons programme, the field in which U-N inspectors say they have the most questions. \u003cbr/\u003eIraq has balked at the request, calling it an attempt to reignite a crisis. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's devastating news for those caught up in the wrangling, such as this mother who's trying to keep her sick child alive.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"Still we are suffering from shortage of drugs and medicine equipments and other services in hospitals, mortality diseases are increasingly high, especially in children,\u003cbr/\u003ewomen and elderly patients.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Omeed-Medhat Mubarak, Iraqi Health Minister\u003cbr/\u003eInspectors, meanwhile, are continuing in their work.\u003cbr/\u003eU-N special envoy Prakash Shah, in Baghdad for talks, said he did not have any scheduled meetings yet with Iraq officials when confronted by reporters. \u003cbr/\u003eUPSOUND: (English) \u003cbr/\u003ereporter: Are you meeting today with Iraqi officials?\u003cbr/\u003e\"No not yet, I have no meetings so far.\" \u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Prakash Shah, United Nations special envoy to Iraq\u003cbr/\u003eIraq is calling on its Arab neighbours to stand at its side.\u003cbr/\u003eThis follows recent statements by U-S President Bill Clinton and British officials that opposition forces in Iraq would receive more Western support. \u003cbr/\u003eAnd despite backing down in the face of bombings last week, Iraq is keeping a defiant tone in the face of any attack. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (Arabic) \u003cbr/\u003e\"Today we are having another phase of (Mother of All Battles), the U-S and the Zionist, the aggressors want to insult Iraq by giving signals to destroying Iraq using military attack.  They will fail like they did in the past.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Tariq Aziz, Iraqi deputy prime minister \u003cbr/\u003eMany Iraqis hope the U-N will promptly resolve the weapons issue so their larger concern of sanctions can be addressed.\u003cbr/\u003eBut as the latest actions of defiance of their government indicate, that hope may take a long time to be fulfilled.\u003cbr/\u003e Baghdad, Iraq, 24 November 1998 \u003cbr/\u003eBaghdad, 24 November, \u003cbr/\u003e1.
