SITUATION REPORT #10: UPDATE FOR 3 SEPTEMBER
DISPLACEMENT
over 1.7
million individuals have been displaced
in 1,634 locations across Iraq since the beginning of 2014, as of 3 September, 2014 Data provided by the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM). For more information, visit the IOM Iraq DTM website: http://iomiraq.net/dtm-page.
Displacement Highlights
As violence and displacement continues across Iraq, IOM continues to deliver life-saving aid and displacement data in partnership with local and UN authorities. Many of these families are currently seeking shelter in schools, mosques and unfinished buildings across Iraq. As this displacement is sudden, families leave their homes with little more than the clothes on their backs. In response, IOM distributes aid that includes non-food item (NFI) kits, which contain basic essentials such as mattresses, cooking supplies and hygiene materials. On 2 and 3 September, IOM delivered aid to an estimated 9,030 displaced people. An internally displaced family told IOM staff at a distribution in Erbil on 3 September: “Thank you for this. We are happy with the beds; yesterday we slept on concrete in the schoolyard, so this is important. We are especially pleased with the gas stove. Now we can make tea and breakfast.”
