Background Two years have passed since the bombing of the Holy Shrines in Samara' (February 2006). This incident ignited sectarian and ethnic conflict throughout Iraq on a scale never seen before. Thousands of fled from their areas seeking refuge in more secure areas. These events, in addition to decades of severe oppression and sanctions fractured the integrity of civil order and society in Iraq. Over two million people became internally displaced, and over two million became externally displaced in neighboring countries. A slight decline in the number of internally displaced people in Iraq was observed as of October 2007. At the same time, a number of externally displaced returned from Syria to Iraq. This decline in the number of displaced people and the returnees from Syria does not mean the disappearance of the humanitarian crisis in Iraq, which is the result of multiple wars for over three decades. Recently Kurdistan, the safe haven for many Iraqis, became involved in armed conflict too. Both the Iranian and Turkish military were bombarding the border villages with artillery shells for weeks. Thousands of villagers left their homes and migrated inland for fear of their lives thus compounding the displacement problem in Iraq. Refugees in Iraq Iraq embraced many from other Arab countries, which underwent difficult situations. These 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 continue to live in refugee camps at the Iraqi borders. They continue to endure very difficult living condition in the desert areas, hoping that some humanitarian organizations will adopt their case and provide them with their simplest human rights and dignity. The Iraqi Red Crescent continues to provide these refugee with humanitarian assistance. The following is a summary of the Refugees in Iraq problem: Sudanese camp: The camp is located 370km from the center of Anbar governorate in an area called 70 Kilos (as it lies 70 km from Al-Ratba city). Forty Sudanese resided in the camp since three years. The Iraqi Red Crescent assessed the needs of the camp and delivered food and relief aid. Ahwasian camp: This camp is located at the borders with Jordan (Traibeel area) and sheltered 300 Iranian from Ahwaz area (at the Iraqi-Iranian border). Some of those moved to the north of Iraq and others moved to Tash area since 1980 hoping that they will migrate to European countries. The majority of the already migrated leaving behind 40. The Iraqi Red Crescent assists those through distributing food and relief aid. Al-Waleed Palestinian camp: A total of 292 reside in this camp and the number is increasing. The camp is located in Tanaf area 450 km from the center of Anbar governorate at the Iraqi-Syrian borders. The Iraqi Red Crescent assess regularly the needs of the camp and deliver food and relief aid and health care. Returnees from Syria In September 2007, the Syrian authorities started to request all Iraqis to obtain a visa before attempting to travel to Syria. All Iraqis have to pay 50 USD at the borders upon entry, including businessmen and people traveling for humanitarian purposes. Some Iraqi residing in Syria could not get their residency renewed and others suffered from the high cost of rented apartments and the high cost of living coupled with unemployment. All this had forced many to return to Iraq. The Iraqi government facilitated the return of many by providing transport to the returnees from Syria to Iraq and a 1-million Iraqi Dinar (800USD) grant for each returning family. (See Updates on Returnees at http://www.iraqredcrescent.org/reports.html ) The Turkish bombardment in the north of Iraq For more than 15 years, the Kurds lived in the northern part of Iraq securely and independently, compared to the other parts of Iraq. After the attack on the Holy Shrines in Samara', the northern governorates received many internally displaced from the south and the center of the country who sought security and shelter.

In October 2007, the Turkish military bombarded the border villages. Hundreds of left their homes and moved to other areas seeking safety. In December 2007, the attacks were resumed on several areas including Shanshan, Bishon, Dishti, Barzkir, Kara, Bit Kar, Nirwa, Rikan, Aloka, Khwarkork, Clerash, Sirjman, Owadel and Koyan, causing destruction and the displacement of 500. On 21 February 2008, Turkish troops crossed into northern Iraq in their first major ground incursion against Kurdish rebel bases in nearly a decade. Heavy fighting and artillery fire continued on 22 February. Turkish army and their helicopters destroyed four bridges (Afamark, Ribikh, Jmjy and Dukiry) in Al- Amadiyah and Sirsank areas. The military actions in the area had caused the displacement of 11. In Erbil, the Turkish bombardment on 22 February 2008 on border villages in Mirka Sour and Khwarkork districts had caused severe damage to the farms and destruction of Wilati Thira Bridge, which connects several villages and agricultural fields in the area. The Internally Displaced People (IDP) Internal displacement became a humanitarian crisis in Iraq since the attack on the Holy Shrines in Samara'. The highest number of IDP was registered in September 2007-2,299,425 people. By end of January 2008, a total of 126,768 people were registered as returnees, as many had thought that the security situation in some areas in Iraq had relatively improved. On the other hand, some IDP were forced to return to their original areas of residence due to the high cost of living in their host communities. As of end of January 2008, the number of IDP was 2,172,657 people. More than 60 percent of the displaced people were in Baghdad governorate. More than 82 percent were women and children under the age of 12. In addition to 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 Ministry of Displacement and Migration made a monthly payment of 150,000 Iraqi Dinar for each displaced family effective upon its registration. The Iraqi government also facilitated the provision of food rations to the IDP through the Public Distribution System and the admission of displaced children to schools in the host communities. Many IDP do not consider returning to their original areas of residence because their homes are partially or totally 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. The government of Iraq allocated 800 USD as a grant for each returning IDP family. The following chart illustrates the numbers of IDP in 2006 and 2007. Iraqi Red Crescent Organization; Disaster Management Department 3

Monthly distribution of IDP for 2006 and 2007 IDP 2,500,000 2,000,000 1,500,000 1,000,000 500,000 0 January February The problems facing the IDP March April May June July August September October November December 2006 2007 Health: The health services provided by hospitals and health care centers are inadequate. Also, there is shortage of medicines and medical supplies. The areas that received large numbers of IDP are the most affected. In addition, most displaced people who suffer from chronic diseases (like hypertensive and diabetic patients) have lost their medication cards. Many IDP purchase their medicines from the local market. People sometimes have to travel to the northern governorates to get their prescribed medicines. Many diarrhea, cholera and typhoid cases have been registered as a result of using contaminated water. Education: Many teachers and headmasters were threatened or killed and many pupils were killed in groups or individually. This situation had scared students from attending schools. On the other hand, many IDP pupils dropped out of schools as a result of the economic situation of their and difficulties in transferring their official documents to the schools in their new neighborhoods. This is in addition to the psychosocial problems resulting from becoming displaced. As the security situation somewhat improved, the Ministry of Education facilitated the transfer of the documents of the IDP children to the schools in the host communities and arranged to bring children back to schools. However, schools in the areas that received big numbers of IDP became overcrowded. Also, it was noted that many female pupils did not register back to schools due to poor economic situation of their 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 in their new neighborhoods. For example, the Iraqi Red Crescent assisted 45 students from Kurdaseen camp in Dohuk to transfer their documents from Ninawa governorate. Shelter: There is an increase in the cost of rented apartments in the secure areas, especially in Kurdistan and the southern governorates, which made it difficult for big to obtain appropriate shelter. Some IDP live with their relatives; but many others are sheltered in abandoned public buildings, which lack water, electricity and sanitation facilities. Few IDP are living in camps/tents that lack services and basic means for living. Economic aspect: Many IDP have lost their income or their breadwinners. For the majority, work opportunities were scarce in the host communities. Also, most IDP family heads are poor with very limited income or education, which makes it impossible to meet the basic needs (food, clothing, shelter and fuel) of family members. These are increasingly becoming dependant on humanitarian aid. Food security, water and electricity: The IDP are dependent on the Public Distribution System for food supplies. In the beginning of the displacement problem, the IDP faced the problem of accessing Iraqi Red Crescent Organization; Disaster Management Department 4

their food shares in their host communities, but later this problem was solved. The IDP also use the local market and receive assistance from the host communities, as the food shares they receive from the Public Distribution System do not meet their needs. Most IDP use the municipality water supply, water tankers or donated water from the humanitarian organizations. Others use unsafe water from wells, rivers and lakes and water running from damaged pipes. Most IDP suffer from the frequently disrupted electricity supply and the high cost of fuel. Role of the Iraqi Red Crescent Organization The Iraqi Red Crescent Organization emerged as the main channel for the distribution of food and non-food items countrywide. It assisted national and international humanitarian agencies and the different Iraqi ministries in implementing their humanitarian aid programs in Iraq. The Iraqi Red Crescent has a network of 100,000 trained volunteers, staff and representatives affiliated to its 18 branches (one branch in each governorate). The Iraqi Red Crescent has access to all areas in Iraq through its outreaching 365 offices in addition to its neutrality and independence. Volunteers and staff provided relief assistance and disaster response services on daily basis to the most vulnerable people regardless of religion or political affiliation. The response of the Iraqi Red Crescent to the current humanitarian crisis had stretched out its limited human, financial and material resources. Since its establishment in 1932, the Iraqi Red Crescent had a distinguished role in delivering humanitarian aid to vulnerable groups during disasters in Iraq and in other countries. 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-operation 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 and support to the IDP. Carrying out field assessments to identify the emerging needs of the IDP. Distributing food and relief aid to the needy IDP. Setting up and equipping camps to shelter the homeless IDP. Assisting IDP children to go back to schools in their new neighborhoods. The Iraqi Red Crescent branches had set-up 39 camps to shelter IDP, of which 18 were in Baghdad governorate. By end of 2007, most of these camps were dismantled. For additional information on this please see the branch reports, which are included in this update. The Iraqi Red Crescent trains its staff and volunteers at the Headquarters and branch levels on the process of Rapid Damage Assessment in cooperation with its partners, including the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). These trainings aim at building the capacity of the Iraqi Red Crescent in data collection methodology in order to obtain timely data from the field through the outreaching branches and offices.

Humanitarian aid distribution in the governorates Since March 2006, the Iraqi Red Crescent maintained a humanitarian aid operation to assist IDP and destitute 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 the bombing of the Holy Shrines in Samara' in February 2006, the Iraqi Red Crescent distributed more than 569,754 food shares, 315,625 shares of relief items and 271,309 hygiene kits to IDP and destitute. 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 other institutions serving special groups of vulnerable people. Most distributions in January 2008 were in Baghdad and Ninawa governorates (See table 5 for cumulative distribution of humanitarian aid).

Iraqi RC branch reports on the Internally Displaced People 1. Baghdad Baghdad governorate lies in the center of Iraq. It has the largest number of displaced people as a result of many explosions, military operations and armed conflicts. More displacement have been noticed in Al- Karkh areas, whereby many moved to Al-Rasafa areas due to better security situation and better services (including electricity, water and availability of fuel). Al-Rasafa areas also have most governmental institutions and departments. Consequently, the cost apartment rentals in Al-Rasafa increased and schools became overcrowded. After the slight improvement in the security situation, a number of Externally Displaced returned to Iraq (mainly to Baghdad) starting mid September 2007. Some returnee were not able to return to their original areas of residence and they settled in other areas. This resulted in increased number of Internally Displaced People in Baghdad during September and October 2007. (See Updates on Returnees at http://www.iraqredcrescent.org/reports.html ) The Iraqi Red Crescent branch in Baghdad is one of the dynamic branches. It provides humanitarian aid to the vulnerable especially the displaced through its offices and its volunteers. A total of 6,510 volunteers are participating in the Iraqi Red Crescent humanitarian operation in Baghdad governorate. Distribution of IDP in Baghdad by district District/area 1. Abu Ghraib 2.

2. Basrah Basrah city is the largest and the most densely populated city in southern Iraq. It lies on the Arabian Gulf and has Iraq's harbors, which gives it economical and commercial importance. Basrah governorate population is a mixture in religion and rites. The governorate has borders with Iran from the east and with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia from the southwest. Basrah lies 549 km from Baghdad and is surrounded by three governorates: Missan, Thi qar and Muthanna. Basrah had witnessed many violent acts and bombings, which had led to displacement from and to the governorate. By end of 2007, 50 women were killed because they did not wear scarves. More than 200 Iraqi RC volunteers participated in the field assessments and surveys and distribution of humanitarian aid. The Iraqi Red Crescent branch in Basra has nine offices.

3. Ninawa Ninawa governorate is the second Iraqi governorate in terms of population. It is regarded as one of the important governorates of the north because of its borders with Turkey and Syria. Goods pass through Ninawa from Turkey and Syria to Baghdad and the southern governorates. The governorate has one of the largest districts in Iraq, which is Talafer. The governorate had witnessed many military operations, armed conflict and explosions especially in Tal?fer district, from which many were forcefully displaced. The Zanjili massive explosion in January 2008 resulted in the destruction of 100 houses and the displacement of 60, who were hosted by relatives in the same area. The Iraqi Red Crescent provided humanitarian assistance to the affected and medical supplies to the hospitals in Mousel city. The Iraqi Red Crescent branch in Ninawa coordinated with other Red Crescent societies and humanitarian organizations the relief operation in Zanjili area. For further information on Zanjili operation, see updates at http://www.iraqredcrescent.org/reports.html. The Iraqi Red Crescent branch in Ninawa operates 22 offices.

6. 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.

Most IDP arrived in Karbala with limited resources and were unable to meet their basic needs. The Iraqi Red Crescent has four offices in Kerbala.
