BBC - Reporters' log: Battle for Falluja
~snip~
Imogen Foulkes :: Geneva :: 1946GMT
Humanitarian organisations say they are deeply worried about the fate of civilians caught up in the fighting in Falluja.

Both the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) and the International Committee of the Red Cross expressed their concern and reminded the warring parties that civilians must be allowed access to food, water and medical care.

But since international aid agencies are no longer present in Iraq, it is extremely difficult for them to assess exactly how serious the situation is.

The UNHCR says tens of thousands of civilians have fled Falluja - no one really knows how many remain in the embattled city.
