IOM EMERGENCY NEEDS ASSESSMEN FEBRUARY 22, 2009: THREE YEARS OF POST-SAMARRA DISPLACEMENT IN IRAQ I. POPULATION DISPLACEMENT AND RETURN IN IRAQ Three years after a severe wave of sectaran volence began, returns are ncreasng and new dsplacement s rare. Iraqs look to rebuldng ther lves facng an uncertan securty future. On 22 February 2006, the bombng of the Al-Askar Mosque n Samarra trggered escalatng sectaran volence that drastcally changed the cause and scale of dsplacement n Iraq, both to locatons nsde Iraq and to locatons abroad. Snce February 2006, more than 1,600,000 1 Iraqs (270,000 famles) have been dsplaced - approxmately 5.5% of the total populaton. Of these 270,000 famles, IOM montorng teams have dentfed and assessed 209,402 (an estmated 1,256,412 ndvduals), or 80% of the total post-samarra dsplacement populaton. 2 These assessments, llustrated n ths report, reveal the demographc composton and geographc journeys of the IDP populatons remanng n dsplacement, as well as detal the overwhelmng needs for bascs such as adequate shelter, suffcent food, clean water, and access to employment. INSIDE: Dsplacement/ Return Summary Post February 2006 Profle wth Numbers, Identtes, Locatons, Orgns Return potentals Humantaran Needs & Response Even as securty appears to mprove and dsplacement slows, Iraq IDPs face threats of evcton and lve n precarous envronments, wth the possblty of volence stll a present worry. IOM s assessments of IDP famles ntentons reveal that many wsh to return home and may do so f condtons permt, especally that of securty. Others wsh to begn new lves n ther places of dsplacement or other locatons. These famles need assstance to mplement these choces successfully. Of the assessed IDP populaton, there are about 130,000 famles who have ndcated they would return to ther orgnal locatons, whle about 45,000 famles would lke to be ntegrated nto ther current locatons of dsplacement. In addton, about 35,000 famles would lke to resettle n a thrd locaton. A famly among 200 IDP famles who receved return transport assstance from IOM, returnng from Qadssya to. Currently 49,432 3 returnee famles (an estmated 296,592 ndvduals) have been dentfed across the country by IOM returnee feld montors. They too, face harsh lvng condtons, destroyed property and nfrastructure, and loss of former lvelhoods. IOM and other humantaran organzatons are workng to assst IDP and returnee famles, but the response remans nadequately funded n proporton to the many and dverse needs across Iraq. 1 As per fgures from the Kurdstan Regonal Government (KRG) for the three northern governorates and the Iraq Mnstry of Dsplacment and Mgraton (MoDM) for the 15 central and southern governorates. See the IDP Workng Group Internally Dsplaced Persons n Iraq Update (September 2008) for fgures per governorate. 2 For nformaton on IOM s montorng methodology, see IOM Montorng Needs Assessments Methodology avalable at www.omraq.net/lbrary.html#idp 3 The number of returnee famles presented n ths report s not the total number of returnees n Iraq, but the summary number of returnee famles for locatons (vllages and neghborhoods) for whch the returnee montorng teams managed to collect data through partcular sources as of the reportng date. These fgures do not nclude dsplacement n, Erbl, and Sulaymanyah.

DISPLACEMENT: New dsplacements have stopped, but the total number of famles lvng n dsplacement remans hgh. The number of famles beng dsplaced every month was hghest n 2006, when an average of 14,152 famles was dsplaced every month. Ths extreme rate contnued n the frst half of 2007, when 8,033 famles was dsplaced monthly. In 2008, 378 famles were beng dsplaced per month: 20000 Number of Famles Dsplaced Per Month 18000 16000 14000 12000 10000 8000 6000 4000 2000 0 Mar-06 Apr-06 May-06 Jun-06 Jul-06 Famles Aug-06 Sep-06 Oct-06 Nov-06 Dec-06 Jan-07 Feb-07 Mar-07 Apr-07 May-07 Jun-07 Jul-07 Aug-07 Sep-07 Oct-07 Nov-07 Dec-07 Jan-08 Feb-08 Mar-08 Apr-08 May-08 Jun-08 Jul-08 Aug-08 Sep-08 Oct-08 Nov-08 Dec-08 Month of Dsplacement Cumulatve Number of IDP Famles 250000 200000 150000 100000 50000 0 Mar-06 Apr-06 May-06 Jun-06 Jul-06 Famles Aug-06 Sep-06 Oct-06 Nov-06 Dec-06 Jan-07 Feb-07 Mar-07 Apr-07 May-07 Jun-07 Jul-07 Aug-07 Sep-07 Oct-07 Nov-07 Dec-07 Jan-08 Feb-08 Mar-08 Apr-08 May-08 Jun-08 Jul-08 Aug-08 Sep-08 Oct-08 Nov-08 Dec-08 Month of Dsplacement Most of the post-samarra dsplacement took place n 2006 (70%) and the frst half of 2007, and new dsplacements are rare n Iraq today. Yet the number of IDPs n the country remans large (270,000 famles), a serous concern for the future of Iraq. Perod Average number of dsplaced per month Percent of total IDP populaton dsplaced n the perod 2007 28% 2006 14,152 70.3% Jan-Jun 2007 8,033 23.0% Jul - Sep 2007 2,269 3.3% Oct - Dec 2007 866 1.2% 2008 378 2.2% Year of Dsplacement 2008 2% 2006 70% 2

RETURN: As returns ncrease, returnees need assstance to rentegrate and rebuld. After the peak of dsplacement n 2006, IDP returns were frst recorded n Aprl 2007 n Mada n, Abu Ghrab, and Taj dstrcts of. Throughout the second half of 2007 and all of 2008, returns ncreased sgnfcantly n cty, notably Karkh and Al Resafa dstrcts. IOM montorng teams have recorded a total of 31,521 returnee famles n governorate. In addton, late 2007 and all of 2008 saw sgnfcant returns n and Dyala governorates. Currently 49,432 returnee famles (an estmated 296,592 ndvduals) have been dentfed across the country by IOM returnee feld montors, dstrbuted accordng to the followng chart.

A smaller but notable percentage (20%) have returned from other governorates, and only 11% of returnees have come back from outsde the country. These famles are manly returns from Syra to and. IOM returnee feld montors have conducted ndepth ntervews wth nearly 3000 returnee famles, of whch half returned n 2007 and half returned n 2008. When the IDPs were asked about reasons for return, 36% quoted mproved securty n the area, whle another 36% noted a combnaton of dffcult condtons n the place of dsplacement and mproved securty as chef motvatons for return. Accordng to IOM ntervews, more than half of returnee famles stated prorty humantaran concerns as food, fuel and other non-food tems.

II. POST FEBRUARY 2006 IDP POPULATION PROFILE The vast majorty of post-samarra IDP famles are from, Dyala, and Nnewa governorates, whch saw some of the worst post-samarra sectaran volence. Most of these famles are dsplaced wthn ther home governorates. The majorty of post-samarra IDP famles wsh to return to ther places of orgn, whle IDPs n the south manly ntend to ntegrate nto the place of dsplacement. The post-samarra IDP populaton shows some specfc trends wth regard to ethnc and relgous dentty on the governorate level. IDP Locatons n Iraq Whle IDPs have fled to every governorate n Iraq, the largest group of IDP famles s currently n, where 34% of all IDPs (90,731 famles) are currently lvng. Dyala (22,784), Nnewa (19,100) and (18,732) also host sgnfcant IDP famly populatons, accordng to Mnstry of Dsplacement and Mgraton (MoDM) fgures below 4. See also the detaled map n Annex 2.

Ethncty and Relgon Accordng to Current Locaton Accordng to IOM fgures, 57% of IDPs are Arab Sha Muslms. 31% are Arab Sunn Muslm, 5% are Chrstan, 4% are Kurd Sunn Muslm, and 3% belong to other groups. 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Undefned Chrstan Kurd-Sunn Muslm Kurd-Sha Muslm Arab-Sunn Muslm Arab-Sha Muslm Babylon Dyala Erbl Kerbala Mssan Ethncty and Relgon by Current Locaton of IDPs Nnewa Qadssya Salah al-dn Sulaymanyah Krkuk Th-Qar Wasst There are notable trends n the ethnc composton of IDPs on the governorate level. For example, all IDPs resdng n are Sunn Muslms, yet 60% of those IDPs who fled from ther homes n are Sha Muslms. Smlarly, the majorty of IDPs that fled ther homes n are Sunn Muslms, yet IDPs currently resdng n are Sha Muslms, predomnantly from. Asde from, other governorates n the center and south of Iraq, such as Kerbala, Mssan,,, Th Qar, and Wasst, do not have any IDP famles who orgnate from the same governorate. Rather, these governorates are recpents of thousands of famles who fled from and Dyala. All of these IDP famles are Sha Muslms. IDPs n Nnewa mostly fall nto two groups. Approxmately half are from, whle the other half are from wthn the government, manly along dsputed border areas. 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% Undefned Chrstan Kurd-Sunn Muslm Kurd-Sha Muslm 30% 20% 10% Arab-Sunn Muslm Arab-Sha Muslm 0% Babylon Ethncty and Relgon by Orgn of IDPs Dyala Nnewa Salah al-dn Krkuk Other 6

IDP Intentons, Potental Return and Local Integraton 61% of all post-samarra IDPs would lke to return to ther places of orgn, whle another 39% do not wsh to do so. Of these, 22% would lke to reman and ntegrate nto the current place of dsplacement, and 17% would lke to resettle n a thrd locaton. These ntentons vary sgnfcantly by regon wthn Iraq. As seen n the chart below, the southern governorates of (84%), Wasst (69%), Th Return 61% IDP Intentons Integrate 22% Resettle 17% Qar (60%) and Qadssya (46%) have dsproportonately hgh numbers of IDPs who wsh to stay and ntegrate, whle very few wsh to return. Intenton to return to place of orgn s very hgh n (80%) and Dyala (83%), but t s mportant to understand that most of these IDPs orgnate from the same governorate and have moved from one settlement to another wthn the same governorate. In addton, hgh numbers of IDPs wsh to return home n (95%) and (83%). Most of these famles orgnate from. Most IDPs n Krkuk (77%) also wsh to return. Most of these orgnate from other governorates, specfcally, Dyala, Salah al-dn, and Nnewa. 100% 80% Watng on one or several factors to make a decson 60% Return to ther place of orgn 40% 20% Resettle n a thrd locaton 0% Iraq Babylon IDP Intentons Dyala Erbl Kerbala Mssan Nnewa Qadssya Salah al-dn Sulaymanyah Krkuk Th-Qar Wasst Locally ntegrate n the current locaton III. IDP AND RETURNEE HUMANITARIAN ASSESSMENT Securty and basc needs contnue to be serous concerns for both IDP and returnee famles across Iraq. Whle securty has mproved sgnfcantly snce the heght of dsplacement n 2006, some IDPs stll feel unsafe to return to ther homes. Access to food, shelter, and employment reman prorty needs for vulnerable IDP famles across Iraq, and many cannot access the property they left behnd. IDP regstraton has almost completely stopped, whle returnee regstraton s ongong yet much lower than the current number of dentfed returnee famles. More n-depth nformaton and data are avalable at http://www.om-raq.net/dp.html. IOM s recently released December 2008 Governorate Profles contan detaled areaspecfc analyss and comparsons on dsplacement and return throughout Iraq. 7

Securty/Protecton Snce the ntal erupton of severe sectaran volence n 2006, securty appears to have sgnfcantly mproved n Iraq, culmnatng n relatvely uneventful January 31 provncal electons n 14 of 18 governorates. Indeed, many returnee famles surveyed by IOM dsplacement montors cted mproved securty as a reason for return. However, securty stll remans of paramount concern to IDPs and others across the country. In October of 2008 a relatvely small and stable rate of dsplacement was broken when almost 2000 Chrstan famles were dsplaced from Nnewa governorate due to sectaran-motvated threats and volence. Those who return are stll sometmes targeted, and other IDP famles do not feel safe enough to return at all. Evctons reman a protecton concern throughout the country, as many IDP famles squattng on government or prvate property are told to leave these shelters. Ths s occurrng n partcular n, n accordance wth Prme Mnster Order 101, whch permts evctons to facltate returns. Some of the evcted famles were already IDPs. Whle Order 101 offsets the cost of rent by provdng a subsdy to returnee famles, not all evcted IDP famles have receved ths assstance. The Government of Iraq (GoI) has however delayed evctons, preferrng that ths be effected after the local electons at the end of January 2009. There are also polces beng dscussed to buld houses for the squatters. IDP and Returnee Regstraton MoDM s currently regsterng returnee famles who are elgble to receve the 1,000,000 Iraq Dnar (IQD) ($870 USD) stpend n accordance wth government order 262. As of January 2009, they had processed 12,969 returnee famles, most of whom (9100) were regstered through the MoDM returnee centers n. 3096 were processed n the Dyala MoDM branch offce, and 552 were n, whle the remanng 221 were n other governorates. The MoDM returnee regstraton process has captured approxmately 26% of the total number of dentfed returnee famles. Whle some famles do not meet all of the specfcatons necessary to receve the grants, the hgh number of applcants has also created a regstraton backlog. IDP regstraton has currently stopped n the majorty of governorates across Iraq. Ths s due to both lack of new dsplacements and the current focus on return, ntegraton, and rentegraton for IDP famles. Shelter IOM assessments reveal that shelter s consstently one of the hghest-prorty needs reported by IDPs, followed by employment and food. Although the majorty (59%) of IDPs assessed by IOM are rentng, ther fnances are dwndlng as tme passes and rent prces rse. A szeable mnorty (18%) s lvng wth host famles or frends n crowded condtons, an added burden on households already strugglng to provde for themselves. Another 22% lve n collectve settlements, publc buldngs, or other makeshft housng. IDPs 18% 22% Lvng Arrangements of Assessed IDPs 1% Rented housng 59% Wth host famly or relatves Collectve settlements, publc buldngs, or makeshft shelters Tent or former mltary camp 8

lvng n settlements or publc buldngs often may be at rsk of evcton by local authortes or prvate owners. Less than 1% lves n tent camps. IDPs vew camps as an absolute last resort, due to cultural senstvtes and camps lack of basc servces and harsh lvng condtons. Substandard shelter and a lack of basc servces such as clean water, santaton, and electrcty are a major factor n the IDP humantaran crss. IDPs who are rentng do not necessarly have access to these servces. IDPs lvng n tents, publc buldngs, or makeshft shelters n collectve settlements are partcularly vulnerable and usually have addtonal urgent needs n other sectors such as food, health, water, and santaton. The MoDM has ncluded n the Natonal Polcy of Return an aspect of the returnees rght to repossess ther property wthout any encumbrances. Food/Publc Dstrbuton System (PDS) Much of the Iraq populaton depends upon the government s PDS food ratons, and vulnerable IDP famles are partcularly n need of ths monthly support. However, across the country 19% of post- Samarra IDPs stll do not have any access to PDS ratons, and another 44% have only perodc access. Lack of access s partcularly hgh n the three northern governorates, as well as n and Krkuk. These IDP famles are mostly nter-governorate, havng fled from a dfferent governorate. Perodc access s hgher n governorates such as, Dyala, and Nnewa, where dsplacement s mostly wthn the same governorate. 100% 75% 50% 25% Yes Always Sometmes Never 0% Iraq Babylon Access to Food (PDS) Dyala Erbl Kerbala Mssan Nnewa Qadssya Salah al-dn Sulaymanyah Tameem Th-Qar Wasst Health Care Access to health care remans a serous concern for IDPs across Iraq because of ther frequently precarous lvng stuatons wthout access to potable water, protecton from the elements, or sewage dsposal. Whle 86% of IDPs natonwde report access to health care, ths does not ensure that the health care s good qualty, nor that the health care facltes have the necessary qualfed Yes 86% No 14% Access to Health 9

staff, medcne, and equpment. Health care servces n Iraq have deterorated greatly due to the exodus of qualfed professonals, a severe shortage of medcaton and equpment, and damage to medcal facltes. Access to Property 16% Yes, Property Accessble 43% No 38% Do not know Access to Property 1% 2% No Answer Not Applcable As assstance for restorng lves and lvelhoods of IDPs and returnees n Iraq progresses, one of the major ssues wll contnue to be resoluton of property matters. Currently accordng to IOM dsplacement montorng, only 16% of post-samarra IDPs have access to the property they left behnd. Another 43% do not have any access, prmarly because the property s occuped or destroyed. 38% of surveyed IDPs have not been able to fnd out the status of ther property, often for securty reasons. Prorty Needs When asked about ther most pressng needs, post-samarra IDPs overwhelmngly name food (81%), shelter (82%), and access to work (85%). Health, water, legal help, and other needs are also chef concerns: 100% 75% 85% 50% 25% 0% 5% 81% 16% 2% 17% 6% 82% 19% 23% Access to Work Educaton Food Health Needs of IDPs (each as percent of total) Hygene Legal Help Santaton Shelter Water Other IV. IOM HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE From tranng of tradtonal brth attendants, to emergency dstrbuton responses for dsplacement crses such as Sadr Cty, to Kurdsh language tranng for Arabs dsplaced to the north, to dstrbuton of wheelchars, IOM contnues to fnd creatve, cross-sectoral solutons for assstance to dsplaced populatons and vulnerable host communtes n Iraq. (See also the detaled map n Annex 1.) Recently IOM has provded transport, emergency NFI kts, and n-knd grants for busness generaton to returnee famles returnng to and Dyala. Snce 2006 IOM has completed 315 assstance projects n 952 locatons wth drect costs of over 32 mllon USD, as detaled n the charts below. 10

IOM has successfully asssted post-samarra IDP, returnee, and host communty famles n every governorate of Iraq wth 315 projects, dvded among the followng sectors: Number of Projects Projects were dstrbuted across the years as follows: Water & Santaton Tranng & Capacty Buldng (ncludng lvelhood support) 31 52 315 Number of Projects Protecton 1 73 41 151 50 Montorng & Evaluaton Jont Operatonal Cell (JOC - varous under funded sectors) Health 10 12 52 Total 2006 2007 2008 2009 Drect costs for projects are as follows for each year: Emergency Relef 93 Educaton Dsplacement Montorng 12 46 Drect Costs $32,492,122 $16,517,172 $5,973,671 $6,115,810 $3,885,470 Communty Based Actvtes 6 Total 2006 2007 2008 2009 In addton, the government of Iraq has adopted a polcy on Returnng Dsplaced Persons n Iraq. It has become clear that recent trends ndcate the vablty of an organzed return program, where IOM and the nternatonal communty can play a sgnfcant role. The scope and complexty of the Iraq dsplacement ssue s beyond the current capacty of the GoI and therefore calls for nternatonal nvolvement. V. CONCLUSION Sectaran volence and dsplacement resultng from the 22 February 2006 bombng of the Al-Askar Mosque n Samarra peaked n 2006, and new dsplacement s today no more than a trckle. Yet 270,000 famles contnue to lve n dsplacement, makng more than 5% of Iraq s total populaton partcularly vulnerable. 22% lve n collectve settlements, publc buldngs, or makeshft housng; 14% have no access to health care; 19% cannot access ther PDS ratons, and another 44% have only perodc access to PDS. Overall, 61% of all post-samarra IDPs would lke to return to ther places of orgn, whle another 39% do not wsh to do so, but rather want to ntegrate nto the place of dsplacement or nto a thrd locaton. In many cases IDP famles do not have adequate means to act on these desres to move ahead wth ther lves, even when the securty stuaton permts. Access to employment s consstently lsted by IDP famles as a top prorty need. In addton, 43% of IDPs do not have access to the property they left behnd. The vast majorty of post-samarra IDP famles are from, Dyala, and Nnewa governorates, whch saw some of the worst post-samarra sectaran volence. Most of these famles (83%) are dsplaced wthn ther home governorates, and most wsh to return home. Indeed, these governorates are home to the majorty of the 49,432 returnee famles dentfed by IOM dsplacement montors. These famles requre sustanable solutons along wth contnued securty mprovement n order to make ther return permanent and successful. 11

Caused chefly by sectaran volence, condtons of dsplacement n Iraq are themselves also characterzed by ethnc and relgous patterns. For example, accordng to IOM assessments IDPs who fled to southern governorates are mostly Sha Arabs who left a dfferent governorate, and they mostly wsh to ntegrate nto ther places of dsplacement. They are less lkely to have even occasonal access to PDS ratons, and they also requre support for basc needs and lvelhoods n order to begn anew. Despte lmted fundng and nsecurty, IOM contnues to assst the dsplaced, returnng Iraqs, and host communtes wth emergency food, water and household tem dstrbutons, communty assstance projects, and advocacy. Snce 2006, IOM has successfully completed 315 projects n 952 locatons wth drect costs of over 32 mllon USD. However, overall assstance to these vulnerable communtes remans nadequate. The nterventons ndcated above have also served to complement GoI efforts, local and otherwse, n search of sustanable, durable solutons. Spontaneous IDP returns contnue, and n some cases, there s need for local ntegraton at the ntal stes of dsplacement or settlement elsewhere. However, untl these solutons can be successfully mplemented, dsplacement and the protecton needs for the partcularly vulnerable dsplaced wll contnue to be a chef concern for the future of Iraq.
