Overall Protection  KIs reported that in 47% of neighborhoods communities have seen or heard of explosive remnants of war, with several neighborhoods reporting specific incidents of death and injury. Concerning challenges of movement and safety IDPs were almost entirely reported to be the main population group vulnerable. Children were reported to face risks in half the neighborhoods assessed with child labor being the main concern. Assessment Working Group Iraq - Mosul Multi-Cluster Rapid Needs Assessment - Round 2, June 2019  3,500 IDP families impacted by the threat of evictions from Amriyat Al Fallujah (AAF) IDP camps RPA Crisis Information Report - March 30 2017 - RPA  According to camp authorities, a dozen IDP families in AAF camps are fearful of returning to areas of origin in Saqlawiyah out of fear for their security from armed forces. In the majority of these cases, families mostly comprise women, children and elderly as adult males have been detained by pro-government alarmed forces controlling the areas after being retaken. Iraq Protection Cluster: Anbar Returnee Profile - March 2017  According to government figures as of April, more than 585,000 people (321,000 children) are displaced from Mosul SitRep April 2017 - UNICEF  All children under age 3 years old were without birth certificates or civil documentation. Families were unable to add new family memebrs to the food ration (PDS) cards, which limited the amount of food they received.. RPA Crisis Information Report - 5 May 2017 - RPA  Although cases of identified forced returns have decreased, the Protection monitoring team has identified a significant number of households being prevented from return based on suspicion of affiliation of one of their family members with ISIL. Some of Protection Monitoring Report - May 2017  As of 29 May, 790,674 people (434,800 children) have been displaced since 17 October 2016. SitRep May 2017 - UNICEF  Denied access to education/forced return: In Bzeibez in Anbar, children coming from areas considered as “safe to return” are being expelled from official schools, as a way to force families to return. The issue is increasing each month as new areas are being officially considered as safe to return. Protection Monitoring Report - May 2017 Iraq: Child Protection Sub-Cluster SDR, August 2017

 Especially, lack of livelihood opportunities inside the camps and restricted movements expose IDPs to serious risks, especially related to sexual exploitation and abuse, early marriages, child labor, etc. Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  Forced evictions throughout Ninewa "even if their place of origin is not safe or their houses are destroyed, which means there is no exception for anyone." Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  Forced returns: more IDP families had their documents confiscated and were forced to leave, only receiving their documents back once they reached the checkpoints. This exposes the IDPs to high risks related to personal safety, security, and dignity as the places of return are extremely insecure and lack basic services. Many forced returnees may be faced with no other options than secondary or tertiary displacement in and to extremely insecure locations. Furthermore, these forced returns have increased fears and tensions among the IDPs. Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  Heavy presence of armed actors operating within camps without major constraints continued to represent a violation of humanitarian space and caused protection-related issues, including harassment (including sexual harassment) of civilians, diversion of aid, arbitrary arrests, military recruitment of civilians, undue pressure on humanitarian actors, restriction of freedom of movement of camp residents, physical and verbal abuse, discriminatory and humiliating treatment during distributions, etc. Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  IDP returns to Ramadi have significantly increased, following completion of primary and secondary schools’ examinations. Iraq Protection Cluster: Anbar Returnee Profile - June 2017  IDPs reported not having identification documentation, including, national IDs, birth certificates, death certificates, deeds and other verification documentation. RPA Crisis Information Report - 22 March 2017 - RPA  IDPs reported some identification documents, including birth certificates, issued under IS occupation were confiscated wihtout being given receipts or notificaiton of when they would be returned. RPA Crisis Information Report - 30 March 2017 - RPA  If evictions are carried out, some IDPs plan to seek shelter in nearby camps. Some said they would try to return home and set-up tents by their damaged homes. Most families did not have alternative plans if evicted. RPA Crisis Information Report - March 30 2017 - RPA  If families are forced to leave the camps, the children will likely lose a y ear of study in the transition. RPA Crisis Information Report - March 30 2017 - RPA  In addition, family separation is also a concern for returnees in retaken areas. Many families who have members arrested or detained during their flight from Fallujah and Ramadi remain without news from their family members. These families are missing one or several male members. This often increases risks for exploitation and abuse for women and Iraq: Child Protection Sub-Cluster SDR, August 2017

children whose male members are absent. Protection monitoring visits show that return is not always permitted for every member of a family, and that families with members suspected of affiliation are not allowed to cross checkpoints entering retaken areas, which leads to additional risks for family separation. Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  In Anbar & Salah Al Din, Protection monitoring team has identified a significant number of households being prevented from return based on suspicion of affiliation of one of their family members to ISIL. Some of these families have also reported being Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  Lack of legal housing agreements puts IDPs at increased risk of eviction and has a host of negative protection implications including families moving to insecure shelters, children being withdrawn from school and potential exploitation and threats from landlords. Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  Many children observed begging in the open and other children left without supervision. Lack of support for children, including for identified needs for food and diapers for children. RPA Crisis Information Report - March 30 2017 - RPA  Many families have been prevented from returning due to lack of residence documentation. RPA Crisis Information Report - March 9, 2017 - RPA  Many of the IDPs in these camps have been unable and/or unwilling to return to areas of origin due to destruction of their properties, lack of or slow restoration of basic services, missing relatives, contamination with explosive hazards, and insecurity in areas of origin among other concerns. (Amiriyat Al-Fallujah (Amiiryat Al-Sumoud) District) Iraq Protection Cluster: Anbar Returnee Profile - April 2017  Many retaken areas remain heavily contaminated and further demining efforts will be needed. With the ongoing population movement, recurrent MRE should continue to complement these efforts. Authorities should ensure that returnees have timely and appropriate information on mine risks prior to and after returning to areas of origin. A meeting between the UNHCR-led Protection Working Group (PWG), OCHA and mine action actors is planned for the coming week to address existing gaps related to remnants of war and other explosive hazards. UNHCR Mosul Weekly Protection Update, July 2017  Medical services are inadequate with humanitarian agencies deploying mobile medical clinics (MMC) to immunize unvaccinated children and provide essential health services. Iraq Protection Cluster: Ninewa Returnee Profile - May 2017  Most of the displaced families are from Anbar governorate and have been in camps for 1- 2 years. Many of the families in AAF camps reportedly have had their houses either destroyed or burned, and some of the families had relatives join IS and are unable to return to place of origin due to threats of retribution. RPA Crisis Information Report - March 30 2017 - RPA  Overcrowding and long stays were reported at the Hammam al-Alil screening area and the reception site did not have proper facilities. Some IDPs have stayed at the site for weeks, Iraq: Child Protection Sub-Cluster SDR, August 2017

waiting for family, or their neighbourhood to be retaken, refusing to transfer to camp Mosul Offensive - Crisis Overview III  Protection partners should also be aware that families often begin returning to neighbourhoods only days after they have been retaken, for instance, small numbers are already returning to 17 Tammuz. Local Iraqi organisations are by far the most active in distributing essential items in these newly retaken neighbourhoods; where possible, protection teams should accompany distributions to provide assistance and monitor protection issues in specific neighbourhoods. Rapid returns are less likely in the Old City as the advance through the neighbourhoods is expected to move slowly. Displacement trends and muster points, West Mosul, 29 May  Returnees claim they have not returned due to lack of services, such as access to education. No secondary schools open for girls and only some schools open for testing for boys. RPA Crisis Information Report - March 9, 2017 - RPA  Returnees to Anbar continue to face challenges of explosive hazards, inter-tribal conflicts, fear of militia, repeated attacks by extremist groups, presence of sleeper cells, restrictions of movement, destruction of houses and infrastructure, as well as lack of services with the scale of the challenges differing from one area to another. During May, instances of forced displacement (evictions) due to perceived affiliations with extremists were reported in various parts of the governorate Iraq Protection Cluster: Anbar Returnee Profile - May 2017  Ten days prior to RPA, IDPs reported tribal fighters (ISF-PMF) began systematically confiscating identification as a method to coerce return. At least 60 families reported their documents confiscated.

RPA Crisis Information Report - March 9, 2017 - RPA  They said they had stocks of food and water, that the fighting had moved on from their neighbourhood, and that they made it very clear that they had no desire to leave their home. This is reportedly not an isolated incident and it is something that protection partners should be aware of and work towards advocating against. Further protection concerns have been reported in some retaken areas. Please contact Rise for further details. Rise Foundation report, Updates on displacement and TSPs in West Mosul, 8 March  Youth from Mosul and Al Qaim feel particularly unsafe because they often lack identification documents and due to poor treatment inside the camp. Police and ISF forces gathered many of the youth in the camp and accussed them of theft which was occuring in the camp and where they were treated poorly and insulted by the armed actors.

Overall Child Protection  Children in Hammam al Alil are some of the three-quarters of a million people who have escaped Mosul since the beginning of the offensive, but over 100,000 children remain inside the city and are still at extreme risk AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Especially, lack of livelihood opportunities inside the camps and restricted movements expose IDPs to serious risks, especially related to sexual exploitation and abuse, early marriages, child labor, etc. Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  In June 2017, Anbar remains the governorate where there are the most minor and adult female-headed households across Iraq, and the second highest number of displaced individuals with disabilities. Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  In Salah Al Din, in Tikrit District, access to livelihood and income generating activities is also one of the main challenges faced by displaced populations, explaining their reliance on humanitarian aid. This dependence paired with the decrease of assistance provided over time has resulted in unsuitable coping mechanisms including survival sex practices, child labor, early marriage, and neglect or inadequate care of dependents, particularly of individuals with disabilities, and separated or unaccompanied children. Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  Lack of financial resources pushes families to adopt negative coping strategies including child labor, child marriage, withdrawing children from school and increasingly selling personal assets/accumulating debt.

The most common type of daily labor children are engaged in are small street business, such as selling tissue boxes, gadgets on the road (in stop lights), and cleaning cars’ windscreens. Lack of job opportunities for the HoHHs represents the main cause of child labor. Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  Cases of children working have been identified in our areas of operation in Baghdad, Kerbala, and Diyala.

The most common type of daily labor children are engaged in are small street business, such as selling tissue boxes, gadgets on the road (in stop lights), and cleaning cars’ windscreens. Lack of job opportunities for the HoHHs represents the main cause of child labor. Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  Even though only 4% of the assessed HHs reported the presence of children engaged in some sort of informal work, FGDs and KIIs revealed that child labor is widespread in the area due to lack of job opportunities for the heads of HHs.

Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017 Iraq: Child Protection Sub-Cluster SDR, August 2017

 In Anbar, a significant number of children is working inside the camps and in shops in Ameriyat Al-Falluja and HTC markets, and as peddlers. There are at least eight children who are known to regularly work, yet the actual number of children working is believed to be much higher. However, households generally do not accept discussing the issue of child labor and sharing information on the matter, as families are afraid that this would prevent the children from working and supporting the families, and without alternatives available to them. Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  Lack of income-generating activities mean that new arrivals are unable to find sources of income, encouraging negative coping mechanisms, such as child labor. Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  Mainly due to lack of financial resources and space, many children are not attending school and some of them are engaged in daily labor to contribute to HHs’ sources of income.

Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017 Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  Many children work inside the camps, in shops, in Ameriyat Al-Fallujah and HTC markets, and as peddlers. Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  Most IDPs in the target areas are unable to pay rent on time, borrow money and/or resort to other dangerous copying strategies, such as child labor and cut further food and clothing related costs. Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  Protection monitoring assessments show that 89 percent of IDP households assessed as lacking income are vulnerable and wholly dependent upon state or humanitarian assistance.

Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  The lack of freedom of movement affects IDPs ability to integrate into the local community as well as access employment and education opportunities, and has resulted in protection concerns such as child labor and exploitation of residents of the camps.....With the onset of summer there has been a stark increase in child labor throughout locations in Tikrit and al-Alam, although the forms of labor is different between the two locations. In al-Alam, the majority of the cases identified is manual labor linked to manufacturing and farming. In Tikrit, begging is more often seen as well as selling items on road sides. This child labor not only affects the children’s wellbeing but also puts them at risk of exploitation. The main increase in child labor seen through monitoring this month has been from children living in complexes. Due to a lack of livelihood opportunities within the area for adults, the children are forced to beg or work outside the relative safety of the complexes where they live. Protection Monitoring Report - July 2017  The main coping strategies adopted by the assessed households are sharing shelter with other families, borrowing money, and sending their children to work. Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  The number of children working has increased since the start of the year. This is visible throughout Tikrit city, in particular around check points and the Tikrit bridge area where there is a large presence of out of camp IDPs. This is also linked to the number of out of school children in these locations. Minimal provision of services has been provided for children living in these locations. Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  The reported percentage of child labor in Sebardan is between 10-15%, and employers frequently prefer hiring youth between 14-18 rather than adults with families because youth will work for longer hours for lower wages. Many children in this area drop out of school after primary school in order to earn additional income for their families... Mainly due to lack of financial resources and space, many children are not attending school and some of them are engaged in daily labor to contribute to HHs’ sources of income.

Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  UNHCR protection partners note significant child labour in areas of displacement. Displaced families explain that financial hardship and inadequate assistance forces them to send their children to work in markets and to beg. Child protection actors are aware and are making relevant interventions with families and communities where possible. Protection monitoring indicates that 85% of displaced and assessed household have no source of income. UNHCR is supporting and urging MOMD to register displaced families for social welfare support as this would reduce the incidents of families having to resort to negative coping strategies.

Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  Families were staying in dilapidated buildings that posed physical safety risks and children were seen playing in the rubble of nearby buildings. RPA Crisis Information Report - 30 March 2017 - RPA  IDPs continue to escape along extremely dangerous routes to reach safety and are exposed to many risks, including of being caught in crossfire, sniper fire, landmines, abductions, booby traps, arbitrary detention and torture. Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  In Babylon, at least six IDP households left an informal site they were residing in, the former ‘Agricultural Department’, because of a large uncovered drainage canal which they felt was a significant safety concern for their young children. Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  In Libn neighborhood [Rabia town] there is a lot of damage and debris which presents physical safety risks for the IDPs sheltering there, especially for children Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  In Malaeen neighborhood, parents expressed their worries about sending their children to school because their children have to cross the main highway and walk in an area where they report explosives are present, and is a high risk to their children’s safety. Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  In May and June, at least 34 children were killed and 132 injured, including gunshot wounds, explosion-related injuries, and burns caused by booby-traps, shelling and Iraq: Child Protection Sub-Cluster SDR, August 2017

airstrikes, as well as incidences of children suffering complex fractures from collapsing buildings. Due to lack of access for first line responders, and destruction of urban areas, there is a high probability the actual number of children killed is much higher than current figures. SitRep June 2017 - UNICEF  In transit area and reception center there were physical risks, especially for children, due to the flow of large buses and cars in the area. RPA Crisis Information Report - 14 May 2017 - RPA  Indeed, both elementary and secondary schools are located far away from the camps and parents are afraid that their children might have accidents when they cross the highway on the way to school Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  Lessons learned from recent Iraqi return to other areas show that without significant investment in rebuilding these areas and ensuring their safety, children will be even more unsafe than in displacement camps due to the presence of landmines AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Many insects, especially scorpions, in tents presenting physical risks, particularly for children RPA Crisis Information Report - 30 March 2017 - RPA  Most children were unaware about the potential contamination af buildings with IEDs, although few families who were displaced in Rabia town received MRE through brochures disseminated in the mosques and at IDP gathereings.

RPA Crisis Information Report 20 July 2017  Parents shared that they restricted movement outside of homes due to the condition of the town including buildings at risk of collapsing, piles of rubble in streets, lots of debris, and potential remnants of unexploded ordinances. The children were reportedly not given any awareness education about potentional hazards. RPA Crisis Information Report 30 July 2017 - RPA  Physical integrity of children is at risk due to the poor conditions of the roads in the area, most of them are unpaved and there are many deep holes. Especially, the conditions of the road leading to one of the schools is in very bad conditions due to lack of maintenance, which makes it difficult and dangerous for children to reach the school, especially during winter as water and mud hide deep holes on the ground and make the soil slippery Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017 Iraq: Child Protection Sub-Cluster SDR, August 2017

 Qudis neighborhood, 20 families wee sheltered in a school, the second floor staircase was without railings, which presents risks for children. RPA Crisis Information Report 17 July 2017 - RPA  Several security incidents took place in Fallujah district in June 2017, including a body- borne improvised explosive device (BBIED) in Baghdadi, killing 19 persons, a vehicle- borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) at the Falcon check point without any casualties, and another BBIED inside Fallujah city during Eid targeting the police security, resulting in one casualty and 18 injured. Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  The 9th Division were a key force in the offensives from the north west edge of Mosul in early May where they advanced alongside ERU forces. This caused concern for the protection of civilians due to the destructive nature of fighting in a city with tanks and heavy weapons, which lead to increased civilian casualties and property damage in Mosul. Post-ISIS Mosul Context Analysis  The majority of reported incidents continue to be killing and injuring, primarily in Ninewa, with a total of 22 children reportedly killed and another 21 injured SitRep May 2017 - UNICEF  The majority of returns have been to liberated quarters of east Mosul despite the lack of essential services such as water, electricity, debris removal and the precarious security situation including the threats of arbitrary arrest and detention. In addition, armed extremists continue to launch mortar rounds into Siddiq, Jaza’ir and al-Nabi Yunis neighbourhoods resulting in civilian casualties. Iraq Protection Cluster: Ninewa Returnee Profile - March 2017  The RPA team obvserved small children playing near the side of the busy roads in Gogiali. RPA Crisis Information Report - 2 April 2017 - RPA  The RPA team visited a house where four families lived with more than 30 children and the house was at risk of falling because of large cracks in the walls. RPA Crisis Information Report 3 August 2017 - RPA  The schools, whether elementary or secondary, are indeed located far away and the parents are scared that the children may have accidents when they cross the highway to reach school. Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  There are physical hazards in the locations where children work, such as in metal scrap yards, demolished/ruined buildings and open sites. The nature of these locations places the children at a high risk. Instances of children jumping over barriers in settlements to get to jobs are also occurring. Protection Monitoring Report - May 2017  There were children seen playing in the rubble in both neighborhoods and children were not aware about the risks of playing with ERW. RPA Crisis Information Report 16 May 2017 - RPA Iraq: Child Protection Sub-Cluster SDR, August 2017

RPA Crisis Information Report - 31 May 2017 - RPA  With military operations in Mosul’s old city continuing, incidences of unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) and reports of death and injury of children have risen SitRep June 2017 - UNICEF  With the East bank of Shirqat still under IS control, crossing the Tigris River is one of the main routes out of IS territory in Salah al-Din. July has seen a number of instances of children crossing alone; a total of 11 children have crossed during this period. In one case the family home was destroyed in an attack, resulting in 5 children from the family crossing the river. The other cases were reportedly as a result of the family deciding the children would cross for their own safety, albeit through an extremely dangerous route. Protection Monitoring Report - July 2017

Justice for Children  Lack of legal documentation: Particularly birth and marriage certificates in all governorates, thus preventing families from adding their children to their PDS cards or receive additional salaries from the government. In Anbar, a high number of people are not in possession of their documents, and some children who were born during the conflict do not have any legal document (birth certificate, ID). In several governorates, the Child Protection team has identified families hosting separated children without having custody papers, thus preventing the family from issuing IDs and medical cards for the children; such cases are complicated to solve as the father’s side of the family needs to sign the custody papers, enabling the host family to become the legal guardian. Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  Access to safety continued to represent one of the most concerning protection-related issues in Kirkuk during the reporting period; security screening procedures for IDPs entering Kirkuk continued to be time-consuming and arbitrary during the reporting period, especially for males of fighting age (13 years old and above) who are often kept for extended periods of time at the screening centers Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  Beneficiaries’ very limited access to civil registration offices to obtain or replace civil documents is still a major concern. Protection Monitoring Report - May 2017  Currently, IDP households with children born in Mosul hospitals during ISIS control are facing a difficult time in securing birth certificates for the children, as the KRG does not accept the ISIS provided birth certificate. Securing a birth certificate for a child over 15 Iraq: Child Protection Sub-Cluster SDR, August 2017

days after birth is a long process requiring proof of lineage and documentation, which can be difficult for IDP families to provide if they lost documentation during flight. As a result, many of these children do not have birth certificates, meaning they will not be registered on their families’ PDS cards or be eligible to receive other forms of assistance. Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  In Anbar & Salah Al Din, Lack of legal documentation: particularly for newborns, children born under the ISIL administration, newly arrived individuals, and families displaced from other governorates for whom courts are not accessible. Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  Lack of legal documentation: Particularly birth and marriage certificates, thus preventing families from adding children to their PDS cards or receive additional salaries from the government. Protection Monitoring Report - May 2017  Lack of legal documentation: particularly for new borns, children born under ISIL, newly arrived individuals, and families displaced from other governorates for whom courts are not accessible. Protection Monitoring Report - May 2017  Many parents are worried about their children’s ability to attend school in the new school year. The majority of IDP children did not attend school in the previous school year. One reason for this was the lack of various types of documentation which is required for registration in schools. There is little assistance for IDPs to obtain legal documentation, including birth certificates for new born babies, which is hindering IDPs access to services. Protection Monitoring Report - July 2017  Security screening procedures for IDPs entering Kirkuk continued to be time-consuming and arbitrary during the reporting period, especially for males of fighting age (13-16 years) who are often kept for extended periods of time at the screening centers, which causes family separation, as women and children are transported to the Kirkuk and Salah Al-Din camps. Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  South Central Iraq: Protection monitoring indicates that among the governorates of Kerbala, Najaf, Diyala and Baghdad, legal needs are highest for new arrivals in the Baghdad governorate. In a number of sites in Baghdad, a substantial number of IDP households are missing at least one key piece of civil status documentation as a result of documents being confiscated by ISIL, being taken in Syrian camps, or because children born under ISIL control were not issued official birth documentation. Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017

Killing and Maiming of Children  KIs reported that in 47% of neighborhoods communities have seen or heard of explosive remnants of war, with several neighborhoods reporting specific incidents of death and injury. Concerning challenges of movement and safety IDPs were almost entirely reported to be the main population group vulnerable. Children were reported to face risks in half the neighborhoods assessed with child labor being the main concern. Assessment Working Group Iraq - Mosul Multi-Cluster Rapid Needs Assessment - Round 2, June 2017  A new mass grave was uncovered by the ISF in Albu Yousif area west of Fallujah, with 25 corpses believed to belong to civilians, including children, who attempted to flee during the military operations launched to retake the district. Iraq Protection Cluster: Anbar Returnee Profile - March 2017  As noted, the living conditions and movement restrictions in camps are significant push factors leading to rapid premature returns after areas of origin are retaken from extremist groups. These rapid returns include movement to areas not properly cleared of explosive hazards, and pose severe security risks. During the reporting period, three children between 10-12 years of age, who had recently returned to a remote area between Khorsebad and Barima, northeast of Mosul, were killed reportedly while playing with an explosive remnant of war. The area between Barima and Khorsebad is known to be heavily contaminated war remnants, though Khorsebad town and parts of Barima have been cleared. Khorsebad has received significant number of returnees and extensive mine risk education (MRE) had been conducted in the area by Mine Action Group (MAG). UNHCR Mosul Weekly Protection Update, July 2017  During April, several casualties were recorded among returnees, reportedly including one killed by an IED explosions in Al-Husay and one adult and five children in Nassaf areas of Fallujah. Iraq Protection Cluster: Anbar Returnee Profile - April 2017  In Hawiga, armed extremists are seemingly tightening restrictions and surveillance imposed on civilians, resulting in increased risks for those who try to flee the district. Some IDPs report that armed extremists burned nine people alive, including four children, as they attempted to leave Hawiga for Al-Alam district, in Salah al-Din. UNHCR Mosul Weekly Protection Update, March 2017  Snipers are a major threat to civilian families attempting to escape; the arrival at TSPs of children with fatal head wounds caused by sniper bullets is not uncommon. We have also been told of several mass executions in the Old City of families charged with attempting to escape, including the recent execution of 22 families – around 100 individuals – outside the hamam in the Makawi neighbourhood on 3 April. There has therefore been relatively little displacement from the Old City, despite extremely poor conditions there. Rise foundation report,Situation Update May 2017  The authorities declared that as many as 500 civilians died in airstrikes during one week in March. Also, it is estimated that the operation to clear mines, explosives, booby traps Iraq: Child Protection Sub-Cluster SDR, August 2017

Physical Violence and other Harmful Practices  Almost one million girls in Iraq were married before the age of 15 and more than half a million children are estimated to be working, twice as many as in 1990. AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Children mentioned domestic violence as much as the loss of loved ones as a source of distress, and children themselves became more aggressive in response to a violent environment. AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Due to limited education personnel and non-conducive environment, children are often left unattended and adopt inappropriate behaviors, such as smoking, not respecting basic instructions. Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  Families also reported that there were increased tensions within the family and they have physically beaten their chidlren for repeatedly asking for food and clothes which they cannot afford to buy. RPA Crisis Information Report 3 August 2017 - RPA  Families cited that they were shot at by the so-called Islamic State (IS) during their flight. As a result, many families were separated and a young boy was injured. RPA Crisis Information Report 19 July 2017 - RPA  However, some tensions between host and displaced populations sometimes arise due to some discriminatory practice and mistreatment adopted by host community teachers towards refugee children as reported by some female FGD participants Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  IDPs have been verbally assaulted, including children going to school in Shahama 2 from Shahama 1. RPA Crisis Information Report 9 May 2017 - RPA  In one site conducted group psychosocial activities, and women reported that they were struggling to deal with the behavior of their children in confined quarters and some were starting to beat their children Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017 Iraq: Child Protection Sub-Cluster SDR, August 2017

 Parents overwhelmingly responded that girls were more affected by stress and explained that this was due to widespread sexual harassment and harmful cultural norms that kept girls at home. Lack of safety was reported as an issue by girls in both locations, who were more scared to walk alone that were boys. AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Physical and emotional violence at home and in the camp was mentioned by adolescents as frequently as the loss of loved ones, and very frequently by the younger group of children. This abuse is causing children to feel sad or angry, and more than 83 percent of them said they feel upset when being beaten by their family members or when witnessing domestic violence, or when family members or friends express “hate” towards them, are “mean,” or curse at them. AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  There was also noticeable tension at these checkpoints among the chidlren and also between the children and the Peshmerga. On a number of occassions, the children were seen being yelled at and pushed by other children, adults not in uniform, and inidividuals in uniform at the checkpoint. RPA Crisis Information Report 30 July 2017 - RPA  These security incidents include multiple armed actions involving PMF and police, kidnapping and disappearances of PMF and civilians (including children), Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017

Psychosocial Distress and Mental Disorder  A boy about 13 years old was seen, plae and non-verbal, who had apparently been in that state since his father was detained 4 months ago. RPA Crisis Information Report 10 July 2017 - RPA  A striking element in the findings is the lack of contrast between the two locations in terms of children’s mental health and well-being indicators. Children in Garmawa are exposed to more stressors than in War City, as confirmed by interviews with parents in Garmawa who highlighted that they felt a sense of imprisonment and identified fire breaking out in the camp due to the lack of electricity as a major source of fear for their children. AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  A total of 22 girls and boys in need for specialized services were identified. Type of services needed includes legal, health care, and MHPSS. Protection Monitoring Report - June 2017  According to parents, children were physically and psychologically effected by the harsh conditions that they experienced during the displacement and while living in IS controlled areas. RPA Crisis Information Report 17 July 2017 - RPA Iraq: Child Protection Sub-Cluster SDR, August 2017

 Adoption of risky coping strategies such as child labor as children miss education opportunities as well as their physical and mental well-being and development can be seriously affected. Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  Almost 80 percent of adolescents said they feel shocked and afraid by attacks from ISIS and their flight from the city. Whilst some children know that they are now out of reach of ISIS inside the camp, many still fear violent attacks from the armed group and have nightmares that are so vivid that they haunt them during the day. Some children have difficulties recollecting what they have gone through, and our focus group discussions were potentially the first opportunity these children had to express themselves and share their experiences safely. This exposure to extreme levels of violence and deprivation is causing children to suffer from “toxic stress”—the most dangerous form of stress response—which can have severe consequences for their long-term physical and mental health if they don’t receive adequate support. AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  An assessment conducted in the Kurdistan region of Iraq (KRI)—where War City and Garmawa are also located—in 2016 reported behavior changes in 76 per cent of children, with unusual crying and screaming cited as the most common behavior, followed by sadness, nightmares and violence AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Children are perceptive and hypersensitive to the difficulties that family members have in coping with distress, saying that they do not feel well when family members are sad or upset. AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Children identified the loss of loved ones to the war as their biggest source of distress. Around 90 percent of children surveyed expressed feeling upset due to the loss of a relative and 45 percent shared lengthy stories of violent deaths of loved ones. AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Children in both neighborhoods were said to be physically and psychologically affected by the conditions of living under the so-called Islamic State (IS) and during displacement.

They cannot wait to return to their former lives, before war and displacement, and the thought of returning home is a source of comfort and happiness.AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Children mentioned domestic violence as much as the loss of loved ones as a source of distress, and children themselves became more aggressive in response to a violent Iraq: Child Protection Sub-Cluster SDR, August 2017

environment. AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Children saw the men being separated from the others and taken by Peshmerag in military pick-ups. Some of the female IDPs told the team that some of their children were scared as a result. Parents also said children were fearful due to unfamiliar environment and the sight of armed actors. The fear and anxiety was aggravated by the circumstances of escape, rushing towards the frontline to avoid IS. RPA Crisis Information Report - 24 April 2017 - RPA  Children were not only fearing for their own lives but also for their families during the flight. They talked about seeing family members getting shot by snipers, abducted by ISIS, stepping on landmines, or hit by explosive weapons. They also worry about relatives that were left behind, either because the family members were too weak to try to escape or were caught by ISIS on their way out. Fear for family can contribute even more to distress than traumatic memories, especially when those fleeing reach safety. AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Children who have been displaced for longer were worried about uncertainty and the lack of future plans. Interviews with longer-term displaced parents showed that while immediate concerns such as income and financial security were the biggest source of stress for parents, children’s psychological well-being was affected by longer-term issues. Parents believe their children are most worried about the “unknown future” AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Deprivation caused by the lack of services in ISIS-held areas and the current siege on Mosul has had an impact not only on children’s physical health but also on their mental well-being as children said they felt upset at seeing other children or their siblings malnourished. For instance, one child expressed overwhelming sadness at her parents’ inability to feed her sister. AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Facilitators also noted that many children showed no signs of enjoying themselves or laughing during the focus group discussions, as if they had lost the ability to be children. [...] When asked about what they liked about themselves, only a handful of children could answer, mostly describing behaviors of compliance such as “being polite,” “obeying orders,” and not causing trouble. AN UNBEARABLE REALITY - The impact of war and displacement on children’s mental health in Iraq - 2016, Save the Children International  Families described their chidlren's behavior as more aggressive since they were displaced and attributed this to the harsh living condiitions during displacement, including witnessing violence and experiencing long periods with lack of sufficient food, clothes and inability to meet basic needs.

RPA Crisis Information Report 16 May 2017 - RPA  Lack of socio-recreational activities for children and youths impacting their psycho-social well-being and further exposing them to different health and security related risks as most of them spend their time in the streets doing nothing or engaging in some sort of occasional work. Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  Lack of socio-recreational activities for children and youths impacting their psycho-social well-being and further exposing them to different health and security related risks as most of them spend their time in the streets doing nothing or engaging in some sort of occasional work. Because of lack of recreational activities and education opportunities children are showing signs of aggressiveness, anti-social behaviors, unhealthy practices (i.e. smoking) and depression. Protection Monitoring Report - March 2017  Mainly due to lack of financial resources and space, many children are not attending school and some of them are engaged in daily labor to contribute to HHs’ sources of income. This represents an alarming pattern as children miss education opportunities as well as their physical and mental well-being and development can be seriously affected by inappropriate labor practices. Protection Monitoring Report - April 2017  Many children said that they cope with fear and sadness by seeking out family to play with, and often turn to the comfort of their mothers in times of distress.
