All rights reserved. 1 - Security Incidents Overview 1 - SECURITY INCIDENTS OVERVIEW IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix has recorded as of 31 July 2018 around two million displaced persons, while the number of returnees has increased to 3.9 million. The major wave of returnees is towards Ninewa governorate (almost 1.5 million), followed by Anbar governorate (almost 1.3 million), and Salah al-Din governorate (over 0.5 million). The IDPs are reluctant to return due to the lack of basic services, livelihood opportunities and huge existence of explosive hazards in the contaminated areas. The ISIS control over the Ninewa and other major parts of Kirkuk, Salah Al-Din and Anbar provinces left nothing only a huge destruction to the area. Both the occupied areas by the ISIS and the later process of Mosul Offensive Operation by the Iraqi Military Forces torn the infrastructure apart to a huge extent. Countless numbers of improvised explosive devices, mines and unexploded ordnance are also a risk for people as they return home. Explosive hazards are left both on the primary and secondary roads and under the rubbish of ruined buildings affected by the operations according to iMMAP’s Mobile Data Collection Team MDC in the field. National and International Humanitarian efforts to help and support people affected by the repeated conflicts constituted the major and most intricate humanitarian operations in the area amid the volatile and strained security situation and hard to access to some areas. While a majority of households have started to return to their areas of origin, around 2 million people still remain internally displaced and secondary displacements continue to occur and protection remained a priority throughout the year with social, ethnic and political tensions. Operating amid unpredictable security situations involving multiple security forces and other armed groups, humanitarian partners in Iraq faced frequent security threats and access constraints. iMMAP-IHF Multi-Dimensional Risk Mitigation Information Management Center continues to provide the humanitarian responders with systematic mainstreaming of cross-cutting and strategically information management support in delivering prioritized assistance to the most vulnerable people affected by the conflict and rapid assessment of explosive hazards in the inflicted areas for the expedited response both by the protection actors and government authorities. This situation report outlines dynamic, crucial and exhaustive data on security incidents and explosive hazards since the offensive against ISIL concluded in December 2017 and month to month data coverage necessary for the humanitarian responders to plan/prioritize their prompt humanitarian support to the war-torn areas, vulnerable people and affected communities in a safe manner. 23 Airstrikes 23 Armed Clash Areas Total Security Incidents1 223 Explosive Hazards 483 214 Other types of Incidents 0 50 100 150 200 250 Total Number of Security Incidents per Month 600 2017 478 493 485 2018 500 414 483 400 428 300 339 335 200 100 0 Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Published Date: 5 August 2018 - For More information contact: Samir Mohammed (PM) [email protected] Copyright © iMMAP, IHF Humanitarian Access Response - IHF project - 2018.
