Experiment 12 - Translation
Reconstruction

Wars, sanctions and looting have left Iraq's infrastructure in ruins. After Saddam Hussein wasoverthrown in 2003, total reconstruction costs were put at $55bn and grants and loans were pledged.

But more than two years on, insecurity is a major obstacle. Reconstruction is still largely stalledin many places.

Problems with electricity and water supply are a daily event for some people. A recent survey found just over half of households had a stable supply of safe drinking water. Iraqi officials complain of under-funding.

So far less than a fifth of total pledged funds have been disbursed. And some of the money intended for rebuilding is being diverted to security - estimates range from10% to 50% of the US funds.

Реконструкция

Войны, санкции и грабёж оставили инфраструктуру Ирака в руинах. После того, как Садам Хусейн был свергнутв 2003 году, суммарные издержки реконструкции составили 55 миллиардов долларов; субсидии и ссуды были обещаны.

Но уже более чем два года спустя небезопасность – основное препятствие. Реорганизация в некоторых местахвсе еще в значительной степени остановлена.

Проблемы с электричеством и водоснабжением – ежедневная реальность для некоторых людей. Недавно проведенное исследование показало, что лишь около половины хозяйств имеет стабильное водоснабжение и безопасную питьевую воду. Власти Ирака жалуются на недостаточное финансирование.

До настоящего времени было выплачено менее одной пятой всех обещанных средств. А определенные суммы денег, предназначенных на реконструкцию, направляются на безопасность (оценки варьируются от 10 до 50 процентов фонда США).
