Sulaymaniyah, Iraq – Civilians continue to pay a high price in the
current conflict in Iraq. It is now rare to find a family in Iraq that has
been spared. Fear of being killed, kidnapped, or of becoming a refugee in
one’s own country is ever-present. According to the Iraqi Red Crescent
Society, around 99,000 families were displaced last year. The ICRC
supports displaced families (many of which are female-led) with essential
items such as food, drinking water, blankets, hygiene kits and, if
necessary shelter material. |
