IRAQ: Humanitarian Snapshot (as of 30 June 2017) The end of fighting in Mosul will not signal the end of the humanitarian crisis in Iraq, and millions of Iraqis will continue to need assistance well into 2018. As military operations in Mosul entered their final phase the rate at which people fled the city slowed. The cumulative number displaced since military operations began in October approaches 1 million as humanitarian needs among affected people continue to grow. Some 690,799 people are currently displaced to camps and host communities, 97 per cent of whom are from West Mosul. Some 214,826 people have returned to their homes in accessible neighbourhoods, 29 per cent of whom returned to West Mosul. A rapid
home due to an increased sense of security in their area of origin, despite the ongoing conflict. Humanitarian needs continue in return areas, and food security, water and sanitation services and access to livelihoods are flagged as areas of particular concern. Hawiga, western Anbar and Telafar are still under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and military operations to retake these areas could displace the majority of remaining civilians. INTERNAL DISPLACEMENT - MOSUL OPERATION¹ Of the over 4.8 million people displaced in Iraq since early 2014, about 3.4 million remain displaced, living in 3,700 locations across the country. 900,000²
