Iraqi Red Crescent Organization; Disaster Management Department 1 The Internally Displaced People in Iraq; update 35; 30 June 2008

Background and humanitarian context By end of May 2008, the number of Internally Displaced People (IDP) in Iraq was 2,169,920. This marked a decrease by 3,234 people compared to April 2008. The Iraqi Red Crescent Organization registered changes in the numbers of IDP in three governorates- Kirkuk, Kerbala and Saladin. The humanitarian crisis in Iraq resulting from the displacement problem continues. Thousands of families were displaced from their areas since the bombing of the Holy Shrines in Samara' (February 2006). Over two million people became internally displaced and over two million became externally displaced in neighboring countries. Thousands of displaced families became heavily dependant on humanitarian aid, which had intensified the growing humanitarian crisis. According to an assessment carried out by the World Food Program in 2007, some 55 percent of the displaced families were unable to get their food rations provided under Iraq’s Public Distribution System (PDS) due to various difficulties including the transfer of their ration cards to their new place of residence. The highest number of IDP was registered in September 2007- 2,299,425 people. Please see background information on monthly cumulative numbers of IDP and other distributions for 2006 and 2007 in Annex 1. Recently, Kurdistan- the safe haven for many Iraqis became involved in armed conflict. Both the Iranian and Turkish military bombarded the border villages with artillery shells for weeks. Thousands of villagers migrated inland for fear of their lives thus compounding the displacement problem in Iraq. The latest incident took place on 25 April 2008 in Erbil, where there was bombardment of the border villages in Sida area. Disaster response activities of the Iraqi Red Crescent in the area included distributing relief aid and temporarily sheltering the displaced families in safe areas. Also, in Suleimaniah, the Iranian military bombarded the border villages which caused displacement of families to Bashdar. The Iraqi Red Crescent provided the IDP with food and relief aid. Iraq embraced many families from other countries, which underwent difficult situations. These families could not endure the violent situation in Iraq during the past few years. They could not leave Iraq because no other country accepted to receive them and they are living in refugee camps at the Iraqi borders. Many endure difficult living conditions in the desert areas, hoping that some humanitarian organizations will adopt their case and provide them with their human rights and dignity. The Iraqi Red Crescent continues to assess the needs and provide humanitarian assistance to the refugees in the following camps: . Sudanese camp- located 370 km from the center of Anbar governorate. Forty Sudanese families resided in the camp since three years. . Ahwasian camp- located at the borders with Jordan (Traibeel area). . Al-Waleed Palestinian camp- located in Tanaf area 450 km from the center of Anbar governorate at the Iraqi-Syrian borders. The camp shelters more than 292 families.

The Internally Displaced People In May 2008, the total cumulative number of IDP was 2,169,920 people- a decrease by 3,234 people compared to April 2008. There were changes in the numbers of IDP in three governorates- Kirkuk, Kerbala and Saladin (see table 3 for details). More than 82 percent of displaced people were women and children under the age of 12. (See table 1 and chart 1 for 2008 cumulative monthly numbers of IDP and table 2 for distribution of IDP by governorate.)

Many IDP families do not consider returning to their original areas of residence because their homes were destroyed or because they do not think that security is really enforced. Others want to return to their homes as they could not integrate in their host communities or because they live in unstable areas. Displaced families continue to face problems related to health, education, shelter, income, food, water and electricity. Health services are inadequate. The problem is compounded by shortage of medicines and medical supplies. Most displaced people who suffer from chronic diseases have lost their medication cards. Many diarrhea, cholera and typhoid cases have been registered as a result of using contaminated water. Iraqi Red Crescent Organization; Disaster Management Department 3 The Internally Displaced People in Iraq; update 35; 30 June 2008 Most IDP families use the municipality water, water tankers or donated water from the humanitarian organizations. Others use unsafe water from wells, rivers and lakes and water running from damaged pipes. Many IDP pupils dropped out of schools as a result of the economic situation of their families and difficulties in transferring their official documents to the schools in their new neighborhoods. The Ministry of Education facilitated the transfer of the documents of the IDP children to the schools in the host communities to bring children back to schools. However, schools in the areas that received big numbers of IDP became overcrowded. In addition, it was noted that many female pupils did not go back to schools due to the poor economic situation of their families or because they are needed to assist at home. The Iraqi Red Crescent had a distinguished role in assisting IDP children in transferring their official documents from one governorate to the other and in admitting them to schools. The increase in the cost of rented apartments in the secure areas, especially in the northern and southern governorates, made it difficult for many IDP families to obtain appropriate shelter. Some IDP families live with their relatives- this had negatively affected the living conditions of the host families; but many others are sheltered in abandoned public buildings, which lack water, electricity and sanitation facilities. Few IDP families are living in camps/tents that lack services and basic means for living. For the majority, work opportunities are scarce in the host communities. In addition, most IDP family heads are poor with very limited income or education, which makes it impossible to meet the basic needs of family members.

Role of the Iraqi Red Crescent Organization The Iraqi Red Crescent emerged as the main channel for the distribution of humanitarian aid countrywide. It assisted local and international humanitarian agencies and the different Iraqi ministries in implementing their humanitarian aid programs in Iraq. The Iraqi Red Crescent is a neutral and independent National Society. Since its establishment in 1932, it assisted vulnerable groups during disasters in Iraq and in other countries. It has a network of 100,000 volunteers, staff and representatives affiliated to its 18 branches (one branch in each governorate). It has access to all areas in Iraq through its 365 outreaching offices. Volunteers and staff provide relief assistance on daily basis to vulnerable people regardless of religion or political affiliation. Since the beginning of the displacement problem, the Iraqi Red Crescent established an operations room at its headquarters to monitor the population movement in the governorates. This operations room coordinates the following activities with the sub-operations rooms in the 18 branches:  Coordinating with governmental departments and municipalities regarding registration of the IDP.  Coordinating with the humanitarian organizations regarding appeals and securing humanitarian aid to the IDP families.  Carrying out field assessments to identify the emerging humanitarian needs of the IDP families.  Distributing food and relief aid to the needy IDP families.  Setting up and equipping camps to shelter the homeless IDP families.  Assisting IDP children to return to schools in their new neighborhoods.

The Iraqi Red Crescent branches had set-up 42 camps in 15 governorates to shelter IDP families. Two of these camps were set-up jointly with the Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MODM). A total of 19 camps were in . By end of 2007, most of these camps were dismantled. These camps temporarily sheltered 3,253 families in 3,674 tents. Twelve camps are still set-up to shelter at least 1,000 families in , Ninawa, Najaf, Saladin, Dohuk, Suleimaniah, Anbar, Misan, Erbil and Wasit governorates. For additional information on this, see Annex 2. The Iraqi Red Crescent trains its staff and volunteers on the process of Rapid Damage Assessment in cooperation with its partners. These trainings aim at building the capacity of the Iraqi Red Crescent in data collection methodology to obtain timely data from the field through the outreaching branches and offices.

Iraqi Red Crescent Organization; Disaster Management Department 4 The Internally Displaced People in Iraq; update 35; 30 June 2008 Humanitarian aid distribution in the governorates Since March 2006, the Iraqi Red Crescent maintained a humanitarian aid operation to assist IDP and destitute families through the distribution of food and non-food relief items. This is in addition to distribution of gifts on national occasions, kitchen sets, school kits, fuel and water and provision of basic medical care to IDP residing in the Iraqi Red Crescent camps. More than 11,625 volunteers are contributing to this operation. Since March 2006, the Iraqi Red Crescent distributed 586,854 food shares, 322,614 shares of relief items and 273,401 hygiene kits to IDP and destitute families. This distribution took place through the Iraqi Red Crescent branches and offices in the 18 governorates. Other humanitarian aid distributions took place through the Iraqi Red Crescent Headquarters to local non-governmental organizations, orphanages and institutions serving special vulnerable groups. In May 2008, distributions took place in Babil, Erbil and Kirkuk governorates, where the Iraqi Red Crescent branches distributed 2,761 food baskets, 480 relief shares and 1,920 hygiene kits. (See table 4 for cumulative distribution of humanitarian aid).

The needs of the Iraqi Red Crescent to assist the Internally Displaced People The Iraqi Red Crescent branches had estimated the needs for relief items in order to continue assisting the displaced families countrywide during the coming three months. The needed relief items include 491,000 food parcels, 339,000 relief shares, 342,500 hygiene kits and 16,400 tents. The branches will continue to assist IDP children to return to schools and will provide them with uniforms and school bags. Whenever necessary, the Iraqi Red Crescent volunteers will set up school tents to relief the overcrowded schools. See table 5 for details of the needs of the Iraqi Red Crescent branches.

The Internally Displaced People in Iraq; update 35; 30 June 2008 Iraqi RC branch reports on the Internally Displaced People This update focuses on the changes in the number of IDP registered in three governorates during May 2008. These governorates are Kirkuk, Kerbala and Saladin. The remaining 15 governorates did not register any changes in May. For last updates on IDP numbers and distributions in these 15 governorates, please visit the Iraqi Red Crescent reports at http://www.iraqredcrescent.org/reports.html as follows: . Baghdad, Najaf, Diwaniya and Missan were last updated in the 34th IDP update . Wasit and Suleimaniya were last updated in the 33rd IDP update . The remaing governorates were last updated in the 32nd IDP update

1. Kirkuk has a mixture of different ethnic groups (Kurdish, Arabs and Turkman). It lies to the northeast of Baghdad surrounded by the Diyala, Erbil, Saladin and Suleimaniah governorates. Kirkuk governorate witnessed repeated explosions, which had affected its stability and caused displacement. In 2007, a number of explosions hit the governorate- the most significant were in Amerli and Iman Al-Qasem areas. The Iraqi Red Crescent branch and offices in Kirkuk work to alleviate the suffering of the IDP from the worsening living conditions. More than 100 volunteers are participating in carrying out field assessments and surveys and in distributing humanitarian aid. In May 2008, the governorate registered 0.9 percent increase (171 individuals) in the number of IDP compared to April 2008. The following two tables illustrate the distribution of IDP by district and by displacement areas.

2. Kerbala Kerbala governorate lies 108 km southwest of Baghdad. It has the Holy Shrines that more than four millions of Iraqis and Shia’ from all over the world visit each year. Stability, the availability of job opportunities in religious tourism and the presence of several charity organizations in Kerbala attracted many IDP families, which had increased the load on the infrastructure and resulted in higher cost of living. Most IDP families arrived in Kerbala with limited resources and were unable to meet their basic needs. The Iraqi Red Crescent has four offices in Kerbala. These are: Ein Tamer, Al-Hindiya, Al-Ikhdair and Al- Huseiniya. In May 2008, the governorate registered 11.7 percent decrease (4,632 individuals) in the number of IDP compared to April 2008.
