I was there, inside the city – about 60% to 70% of the homes and buildings are completely crushed and damaged, and not ready to inhabit at the moment.
Of the 30% still left standing, I don’t think there is a single one that has not been exposed to some damage.
One of my colleagues… went to see his home, and saw that it is almost completely collapsed and everything is burnt inside.
When he went to his neighbours’ home, he found a relative of his was dead and a dog had eaten the meat off him.
I think we will see many things like this, because the US forces have cleared the dead people from the streets, but not from inside the homes.

From Left I on the News:
In Iraq, less than a thousand residents of Fallujah have returned in two days; an estimated 200,000 had fled. Sure, they’ll be ready for elections on January 30…2006. Of course that would be assuming that any of the returnees actually stay, which seems unlikely given the lack of water, electricity…or houses.
