The Department for International Development (DfID) has not received specific reports concerning a rise in foetal abnormalities in Fallujah, although we are aware of some reports of a rise in foetal abnormalities in recent years in Iraq. Due to the unstable security situation and consequent constraints on access by aid agencies to affected populations, there is currently no reliable independent data on this.
