HOCOPSUM
AS OF 161700ZAPR03
KEY HOC ACTIVITIES
1. Briefing to 10/NGOs.
2. Monitoring of 20 HA Missions into IZ including:
• 4 assessments of NASARIY AH
• The CZ government's assessment of BASRA for a Fd Hosp
• Various NGOs attendance at the UM QASR CMOC/ORHA briefing
3. Planning for a further 28 active missions - see Mission Log
GENERAL
The transition from a war fighting "belligerent" to a post-hostility "occupying power" is
highly significant to the UN. Their distance from belligerent parties, and wish to remain
impartial, has been well expressed. This stance will change dramatically and their ability
to support an "occupying power" will significantly enhance the HOC and its ability to
coordinate with the UN WFP and UNICEF; simply food and water for Iraq. Thus the
official announcement of the "post hostility'' position is extremely important.
Already after being open for only 1 month, the HOC's ability and effectiveness is
growing rapidly. I Os and NGOs have confidence, trust and understanding of us. Today
the morning brief opened up discussion, inter-action and the result was 2 NGOs and 1 IO
agreeing to work together, share resources and go at the request of the HOC to a location
and perform an important task that the military would have had to do.

c. Planned Future Activities:
• Attempting to identify a POC within ORHA to co-ordinate planning with
CENTCOM in response to the offer from UAE for a 210 pax military Field
Hospital, 90 day deployment to BAGHDAD. This will prove something of a test
case for ORHA who, to date, have not been engaged with HOC-KU.
d. Significant IO/NGO information:
• Human Rights Watch (HRW) made their debut at the HOC Update. Of interest,
and some irony given the repeated negative reports on the Kuwaiti Human Rights
record, is the application from Amnesty International {Al) for HOC accreditation.
This will be facilitated in the normal fashion. Among the concerns and issues AI
propose to follow in IZ are: .
o The fate of tens of thousands of people said to have "disappeared" since
the early 1980s.
o Follow up with fonner political prisoners.
o Collect further information on the fate of the Kuwaiti prisoners.
o Conduct research on legislation issued by the previous government, which
provided a framework for HR violations.
o Endeavour to collect evidence for part violations, and conduct research
into the most appropriate mechanisms for bringing perpetrators of HR
violations to justice.
o Assess the current situation in IZ in relation to the humanitarian needs and
HR issues.
• The 5 buildings of the UN compound in BAGHDAD are assessed as totally
looted. All vehicles, IT equipment, furniture and files have been ransacked.

a. Key Actions:
• Met with Amer Daoudi, Manager of Operations, for the WFP to discuss shipping
destined for the port of UM QASR. Mr. Doudi asked that a copy of the Notice to
Mariners be sent to him as soon as it is released. Mr. Daoudi agreed to add me to
his daily shipping distribution list so that I can have access to the most up to date
WFP shipping data.

• Contacte XO of the ORHA HA Office to mtroduce myself and to
infonn him of the efforts being made in support of incoming HA shipping. I will
be meeting with MrJ(b)(S) I shortly to discuss how we can work together to
improve the HA shipping process.
• Called on the Kuwaiti Port Authority at ASH SHUW AIKH. The Kuwaitis are not
able to complement the data I am currently collecting on HA shipping. They
were very cordial and cooperative. During my visit, I did observe the Pearl of
Fujiarah offloading wheat destined for IZ. The ship is scheduled to complete her
offload in the evening of Apr 17, but the complete offload of wheat may be
pushed back a day or two. I will get an updated time of completion tomorrow.
b. Key Achievements:
• Distributed a draft document outlining port entry procedures that need to be
followed for ships, both military and commercial, destined for the port of UM
QASR. I will collect feedback, edit the document, and distribute the procedures
via MARLO Advisory and military channels.
Planned Future Intentions:
• Continue to fill in gaps in the shipping, confinn arrival dates, and nail down
unload requirements for ships scheduled to offload at Umm Qasr.
Significant IO/NGO Activity:
• Excellent meeting with Amer Daoudi, World Food Program Manager of
Operations.
MEDICAL CELL
a. Key Actions:
• Baghdad Zoo - HOC has arranged procurement of a two week supply of fruits,
vegetables and meat, and 1 month supply of dry feed for the Baghdad Zoo.

• UK Royal Engineers will pay for aod install the correct hookup to the existing water
main at Camp Khor and will install two additional stand pipes. This will allow the
\\later operations to at least double the number of water tankers serviced.
o Installing a bladder system with pumps and possible chlorinator \Vill be
estimated before any decision to fund/accornplish. This n1ay be possible only
if the bladders are already available from the Ministry of Electricity and
Water.
• Mel with 17 Port and Maritime Regiment and the L'N Port Captain. Was requested to
develop a Scope of Work (SOW) for their use. Worked with the Harbour Master in
developing a SO\V for the dredging operations. This SO\\l generally follows the plan
developed yesterday.
• Attended a water meeting held up in UM QASR. Attending this meeting were
various citizens of UM QASR, various members of the military (UK, SeaBees, CA),
VSAID, DFID, ORHA and UNICEF.
o Discussion centered on how to best handle the current situation. Given that
the Kuvv-ait to Iraq \\1ater pipeline is temporary, the discussion leaned tO\\'ards
to how the existing system was used prior to the war.
• Prior to thiZ \1 ,;ar the average fan1ily was auo,ved 30 litres of fresh "rater
during the \Vinter. During the summer the amount \vent up to either
150 liters or to 300 liters.
• Fresh ~rater Vr'as delivered by \Vater tankers,
• Brackish water was delivered by water distribution: \Vhy -prior to
1984 the Regime dug a number of channels that allov..-·ed salt \Vater to
infiltrated up to the water source for UM QASR.
o Note: there appears to be an existing pipeline to the S\1 leet \vater channel that
was not used that could allow fresh water to get to UM QASR. Vnknown if
the sweet \\·ater channel has enough capacity fbr additional useage.
