This is a precondition for many internally displaced people to return. The ongoing rehabilitation of the oncology hospital and of a children’s hospital in Mosul allow Al-Baaj for adequate medical care. The construction and renovation of residential buildings, the University of Mosul and the central library Hatra along with fast-acting employment measures are strengthening the resilience of the Iraqi population and creating future perspectives. These measures ultimately contribute to strengthen trust in the Iraqi Government.
