Insecurity, lack of livelihoods, and destroyed or damaged housing continue to hamper people’s abilities to return home.</p> <p>Despite the significant progress made in the humanitarian response in Iraq, internally displaced people (IDPs) and Syrian refugees continue to grapple with finding lasting solutions to displacement. Intentions surveys indicate that return is not viable for Syrian refugees, while research done by NRC indicates as many as 3 in 4 Syrian refugees are in debt, and 3 in 5 families survive on less than USD 200 per month.</p> <p>NRC Iraq’s analysis also underscores that legal and social protection remain major obstacles to sustainable solutions, particularly affecting women-headed households, and families of perceived affiliation (FPA) to the Islamic State (IS) group, including those returning from Al Hol camp in Syria.</p></div></div> <div><div><div class="country-effort-block block-padding country-effort-block--article-width block-width--default"> <ul class="country-efforts"> <li class="country-effort"> <div class="country-effort-content"> <span class="country-effort__icon" data-svg="education"></span> <div class="effort-number">31,085</div> <div class="effort-text">people benefited from our education programme in 2023</div> </div> </li> <li class="country-effort"> <div class="country-effort-content"> <span class="country-effort__icon" data-svg="food-security"></span> <div class="effort-number">16,212</div> <div class="effort-text">people benefited from our food security programme</div> </div> </li> <li class="country-effort"> <div class="country-effort-content"> <span class="country-effort__icon" data-svg="shelter"></span> <div class="effort-number">141,613</div> <div class="effort-text">people benefited from our shelter programme</div> </div> </li> <li class="country-effort"> <div class="country-effort-content"> <span class="country-effort__icon" data-svg="camp-management"></span> <div class="effort-number">329</div> <div class="effort-text">people benefited from our protection programme</div> </div> </li> <li class="country-effort"> <div class="country-effort-content"> <span class="country-effort__icon" data-svg="legal-help"></span> <div class="effort-number">16,314</div> <div class="effort-text">people benefited from our ICLA programme</div> </div> </li> <li class="country-effort "> <div class="country-effort-content"> <span class="country-effort__icon" data-svg="effort-other"></span> <div class="effort-number">887</div> <div class="effort-text">people benefitted from other NRC activities</div> </div> </li> </ul> </div></div><div> <div class="page-wrapper htmlblock block-padding block-width--default show--all show--all" > <div class="html richtext"> <p> </p> <h2>NRC's operation</h2> <p>NRC in Iraq works in Dohuk, Erbil, Ninewa, Kirkuk, Salah al-Din, Anbar and Baghdad governorates, targeting displacement-affected women, men, girls and boys in urban and rural areas, including IDPs in camps and informal settlements, returnees, Syrian refugees, and vulnerable host communities.</p> <p>NRC in Iraq prioritises addressing lingering humanitarian needs, particularly among displaced groups not yet receiving government-led social services.
