The majority of the recently displaced in Salah al-Din are from within the governorate: Al-Shirqat district (more than 9,600 families), Baiji district (1,270 families), and also from Ninewa governorate (Al-Qayara, Al-Hathir sub-districts) and from Kirkuk governorate (Al-Hawija district). Of the newly displaced in Salah al-Din governorate, more than 11,300 families are currently in Tikrit. Non-food item kit distributions In response to this recent displacement, IOM is distributing thousands of NFI kits to assist newly displaced families. From 3 September to 8 September, IOM’s Rapid Assessment and Response Team (RART) in Salah al-Din conducted distributions of up to 600 non-food item (NFI) kits per day in Tikrit. During the week a total of 2,700 family NFI kits were distributed, assisting more than 16,000 displaced persons who are taking shelter in unfinished buildings. This is in addition to more than 2,700 kits already distributed in Salah al-Din since mid-June, assisting over 5,400 families (32,400 people). Shelter / Camp Coordination and Camp Management Newly displaced populations are particularly vulnerable as they seek shelter; many take shelter in informal settlements, unfinished and abandoned buildings. IOM Iraq is responding to shelter needs in Salah al-Din by providing shelter assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs) in out-of-camp settings. Shelter rapid assessments have been completed for 27 informal shelter sites in Tikrit. The more than 500 families at these sites will receive assistance to upgrade critical shelter arrangements, including building and water and sanitation repairs; contractors carrying out the rehabilitation work will hire IDPs, in order to support IDP livelihoods. Of the 27 sites, 10 will also be provided with Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) assistance. CCCM teams will conduct infrastructure maintenance, training for IDPs and awareness campaigns to strengthen community participation. IOM is also preparing to provide additional shelter support in Al-Alam, Salah al-Din. On 5 September IOM staff and local government representatives held a groundbreaking ceremony for a low-cost transitional shelter project sponsored by Japan. The shelter project, expected to be completed in early 2017, is designed to accommodate 170 families (more than 1,000 individuals). The site, located in a recently liberated area, was selected in cooperation with government authorities. Um Ibrahim’s story Um Ibrahim and her 10 year old son fled from Al-Shirqat, Salah al-Din, in August following the abduction of a family member. They departed by foot at night to avoid being detected. They are now taking shelter in an unfinished building in Tikrit. “We had to flee by foot, so we were not able to take any belongings,” said Um Ibrahim. “We are living in an unfinished building with other families, and surviving on assistance from our neighbors. We have been sleeping on cardboard on the floor, so I am very pleased to receive the mattresses. All of the items are helpful, especially the cooker, so we can prepare our own food. I hope the conflict ends so that we can return home to our farm, and so Ibrahim can go back to school.” From the People of Canada The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is an international humanitarian organization operating in Iraq since 2003. IOM supports the Govern- ment of Iraq to respond to the current humanitarian crisis by providing emergency response services including: non-food item kits, shelter, livelihoods assistance, primary health care, psychosocial assistance and displacement tracking. IOM Iraq also provides technical cooperation including government capacity building on migration issues. @IOMIraq facebook.com/iomiraqmission instagram.com/iom_iraq iomiraq.net.
