Humanitarian situation and needs

Following the insurgency of the Islamic State (IS) into large areas of the provinces of Iraq and Syria, significant population movements were witnessed from the densely populated areas / major cities of Anbar, Ninewa and Salah Ah Din amongst other governorates. These displacements created a significant situation of concern as regards the humanitarian situation of the affected populations. There are now 2.2 million IDPs (Internal Displaced Persons) in Iraq, with 450,000 of them are living in Dohuk governorate, Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI), 14,000 families in Najaf, and 80,600 families in Baghdad. Response coordination mechanisms relevant to a Level 3 Emergency have been activated, and the revised Strategic Response Plan published.

Around 33% of IDPs in KRI are now housed in camps, though a significant number remain in inadequate shelters in non-camp situations. Construction of and service provision to camps remains a focus for the humanitarian community, as well as ensuring provision of services and shelter solutions to those living in informal settlements.

In addition there are also over 230,000 Syrian refugees in KRI, which further stretches government resources, in both camp and non-camp settings, and UNHCR remain the coordination body for the response to the Syrian refugee crisis. The context remains volatile, with ongoing clashes with IS around the limits of KRI. A potential offensive against IS-held Mosul could cause displacement of a further 1 million people towards KRI.

Our action in the field

Iraq faces a complex, and growing humanitarian crisis. Over 8 million people currently require some form of humanitarian assistance. During 2016, civilians in areas impacted by ISIL will be at extreme risk. Mass displacements along the Anbar and Mosul corridors are likely, particularly from towns under siege or attack. Regional interests will impact the direction of the military campaign as well as reform efforts and sectarian violence will possibly intensify. Returns to areas newly under government control will increase; in areas where services are over-subscribed, families may be pressured to return to insecure areas. At least 5.4 million people across Iraq currently require food security assistance, an increase of 1.1 million from last year. Eighty percent of IDPs outside of camps cite food assistance as their top priority. Malnutrition is emerging, a problem which will impact children for a lifetime. In locations with large concentrations of IDPs, the health caseload has increased by as much as 50 percent; in Baghdad, 84 percent of IDPs are unable to access health facilities. Disease outbreaks, including cholera and other killing diseases, are already occurring and may spread in coming months.

PUI is currently providing large scale comprehensive health interventions in three governorates in both the north and south. Focusing on rural and hard to reach areas, as well as communities with over stretched services, through mobile health and surveillance teams, and outreach networks, and on camps to support and implement a structured heath system. In Dohuk PUI have a reach of 50,000 IDPs and 30,000 Refugees, in Ninewa 12,000 IDPs and 7,000 Refuges and in Najaf reaching 24,000 IDPs. WASH care and maintenance in camps, emergency latrine building, tool loan committees and hygiene kit distributions support IDPs and refugees to improve their health outcomes by improving living conditions and hygiene behaviours. In addition psychological support is run through mobile teams, and awareness of protection issues is being increased through outreach workers. PUI are improving living conditions of urban households implementing community quick impact projects and creating job opportunities (training centres and Professional Tool Kits) for 460 IDPs and returnees.
