The humanitarian crisis in Iraq remains complex with multiple, unpredictable and volatile dynamics impacting civilians. The pace of displacement, and return, is one of the fastest on recent record. Since military operations began in Mosul in October 2016, about 780,000 people have been displaced from their homes, including over 600,000 people who have been forced to flee from the western neighbourhoods of Mosul city alone. More than 322,000 people are currently sheltering in emergency sites and camps around Mosul while an estimated 288,000 people are staying with families, friends or being hosted by local communities. Humanitarian partners are working to expand camps and ensure people receive emergency supplies and are assisted as they move and settle in safer areas.
