The International Committee Red Cross (ICRC) Saturday said that at least 100 Iraqis had been injured during air strikes since the US-led coalition forces launched military campaign against Baghdad early Thursday.
ICRC spokesman Florian Westphal said that ICRC staff Saturday morning visited a hospital in Baghdad and found about 100 individuals wounded.
"We don't know the seriousness of their injuries...And we don't know if they were civilians or military," Westphal said, but adding that 20 of the injured were women.
ICRC said on Thursday that at least one person was killed and 14 others injured in the first day of US-led war on Iraq.
