SOUNDBITE: (English) Torben Due, Country Director for the World Food Program: "I don't expect another similar incident in this compound. It doesn't mean the environment is safe, there are risk factors. We hope that was an isolated incident. In any case the WPP will continue the work it has been doing for the last 20 months. We are supplying food to the whole Iraqi population. We will continue to do what is needed as long as it is needed." 4. Cutaway of UN staffers 5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Matthew Hollingworth, Logistic Officer for the World Food Program: "Morale is good now because people are working to get things done again. We're all very busy. The systems are at their best. The people are at their best." 6. UN Security and UN staffers in a huddle 7. Various of ruins, bloodied computer, papers etc. 8. SOUNDBITE: (English) Ramiro Lopes da Silva, acting head of the UN mission: "The operational agencies, the UNICEF, FAO, WHF etc, they are resuming their normal operations today. You know that Saturday is a weekend for the UN. It's still a slow pace tomorrow. For UNAMI (United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq) and the recently created UNOCHI (UN Office for the Humanitarian Coordination for Iraq) we will take a couple of more days because we lost our office. We are creating temporary facilities in the city and in this camp. We are creating temp facilities in the city and in this compound." 9. UN staff walking outside compound STORYLINE U.N. staffers at the organisation's headquarters in Baghdad were back to work on Saturday, this time in tents set up amid the ruins of their former building. The workers were making use of computers, generators and photocopy machines provided by the American forces. A visible American security presence was also in evidence. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said on Friday there was an urgent need to strengthen UN security in Iraq following the attack. UN humanitarian chief in Iraq, Ramiro Lopes da Silva of Portugal, has been appointed as acting head of the UN mission in Baghdad. Speaking from the compound, he said the UN were in process of creating new offices at locations around the city. The US administrator for Iraq wept at a farewell ceremony for Sergio Vieira de Mello on Friday as the body of the United Nations' top diplomat to Iraq was loaded onto a Brazilian air force jet. His coffin, draped in a UN flag, was loaded onto the back of the jet by six pallbearers, including his bodyguards, accompanied by two bagpipers.
