NRC in Iraq
Iraq, with a long history of displacement, has seen an unprecedented rise in
recent years. Of the more than 5.8 million Iraqis who fled their homes since
2014, two million remain displaced. Over four million Iraqis have returned to
their area of origin. Many Iraqis have returned to areas that lack basic
infrastructure, utility services and livelihood opportunities, or where
explosive devices have not been cleared. Other challenges include: lack of
security, community rejection, housing, property and civil documentation issues
and lack of educational opportunities.
The UN estimates that more than 8 million Iraqis will need assistance in 2019,
and 3.2 million children attend schools irregularly or not at all. Humanitarian
agencies are asking for 569 million USD to deliver basic assistance to
Iraqis (HRP 2018). With military operations against IS group having
ended, the Iraqi government faces new challenges to ensure an inclusive
reconstruction and reconciliation that will sustain peace.
Since 2010,NRC Iraq has been assisting internally displaced Iraqis, Syrian
refugees, and host communities in Ninewa, Dohuk, Erbil, Kirkuk, Basra
and Anbar. We focus on assisting the newly
displaced, those in lengthy displacement in camps and those
in hard-to-reach places. In 2018, NRC scaled-up programmes
across Iraq to respond to the large-scale displacements and returns, especially
in Anbar governorate, around Kirkuk and in Ninewa using our
water and sanitation, education, camp management, legal
assistance, livelihoods, camp management, and cash activities.
