10. 128 degrees. No air conditioning. Insufficient amounts of clean water.
This is a recipe for disaster. Think of the worst heat-related crisises in recent American history, and then imagine how much worse they would have been without functioning electricity and running water. In Chicago, 1995, it is estimated that over 600 people died from heat-related illnesses. I don't need to see the bodies to know that the situation throughout Iraq is far far worse.
