Towards the end of 2003 and 2004, Iraq became the battle ground and regional arm conflict to settle scores with different factions. Insurgents bombed the Holy Shrines in Sammarra in March 2006. This attack ignited sectarian and ethnic arms conflict throughout Iraq on a scale never seen before. Thousands of Shiites had fled Sunni areas and vice versa. Christians also fled from Sunni areas to Kurdistan. These recent events, in addition to decades of severe oppression and sanctions fractured the integrity of the civil order and society in Iraq. Recently in Kurdistan, the safe haven for many Iraqis became involved in armed conflict too. Both the Iranians and Turkish military were bombarding the border villages with artillery shells for days and weeks. Thousands of villagers left their homes and migrated inland for fear of their lives thus compounding the refugee problems in Kurdistan. The Oxfam Organization reported that there are eight million Iraqis in need of urgent help. This number constitutes one third of the population in Iraq. Two million of those Iraqis are internally displaced throughout Iraq. Two million Iraqis are externally displaced in a number of neighboring countries. As of 31 August 2007, more than 77 percent of the internally displaced Iraqis were women and children under the age of 12 (see table 1 and 2, and chart 1 and 2 for detailed data). In addition to their plight as being displaced, the majority suffer from disease, poverty and malnutrition. Children do not attend schools and are being sheltered in tents, abandoned government buildings with no water or electricity, mosques, churches, or with relatives. The Iraqi Red Crescent Organization (Iraqi RC) thus has a mammoth task to alleviate the suffering of this vast number of Iraqis. The Iraqi RC continues to be the only effective relief agency able to work throughout Iraq with little or any problem. The Iraqi RC has 5,000 employees throughout Iraq with 300 offices or representatives and 95,000 volunteers. The following updated statistics on the Internally Displaced People (IDP) in Iraq was compiled by the Disaster Management Coordinators in the eighteen Iraqi governorates in cooperation with the army of Iraqi RC volunteers. The Iraqi RC statistics showed that the number of IDP increased by 71.1 percent in August. The vast majority of this increase (96.4 percent) was in Baghdad governorate (see table 3 for distribution of IDP by governorates). Also, children constituted 51.3 percent of total IDP- a 12.6 percent increase since 31 July 2007.

Firstly, people forcefully abandoned their homes as a result of the escalating military operations and the infighting between different political factions. Secondly, becoming displaced, they were un- welcomed in their new neighborhoods. Hosting communities fear job competition and draining of the already depleted resources. Thirdly, families left their homes and properties carrying with them few personal belongings, which resulted in increased poverty and vulnerability. Facing these circumstances, some displaced families were displaced again. Some families were even displaced for three times. Different governorates took measures that restricted the settlement of IDP within their area. For example Kerbala governorate received only the IDP originally born in Kerbala; same in Najaf governorate. Shelter is a major problem. The IDP may be classified into five categories according to shelter: ! Families who dwelled with relatives: This has been causing more problems to the host families. Houses become over populated when a displaced family resides with relatives. Also, both families may suffer from shortage of food. ! Families who sheltered in governmental buildings: These families are exposed to mortar attacks and suffer from lack of essential services, food, water and electricity. In addition, there is the risk of unexploded ordinance or bombs in these buildings. It is important to mention these IDP families may be evicted at any time. ! Families who rented apartments: These families are suffering from extreme raises in rent costs as a result of increasing demand. ! Families who built mud houses on vacant lands: This action had encouraged their relatives to do the same. This is a violation of the law, as these mud houses are built on land that does not belong to the IDP families. Some IDP started occupying empty houses, which is also illegal. ! Families who are being sheltered in the Iraqi RC tents set-up in a number of mosques to accommodate displaced families. Displacement resulted in major changes in the population demography.

The degrees of desertification have increased to the point where it affects %75 of the total land space of Iraq, and particularly the arable areas. This is due to several causes; some of it is caused by natural circumstances, while others are due to human activities which led to the salinization of the soil, deterioration of the plant cover and formation of sand dunes. This intensified the economic consequences in Iraq, and led to reduce of productivity. The state is burdened with large amounts of money in the reclamation of the deteriorated lands. The immigration from rural areas to cities has increased, poverty has spread and unemployment is rife. It also caused the extinction of many plant and animal species in the period 1990 – 2010. This paper indicates that the cost of combating desertification is around 10.3 – 20.5 billion dollars. This is a huge cost which affects the present and future economic situation that leads to decreases the generations in development and progress . KEYWORDS: Desertification, Economic Costs, Salinization, Iraq .
