This includes: <br/>supporting authorities in the collection of information <br/>facilitating transmission of information between the parties chairing meetings <br/>facilitating joint missions in the field and the handover of human remains</p> <p>The ICRC continues to provide training and other support for the Ministry of Human Rights, Basra’s Al-Zubair Centre of Iraq and Baghdad’s Medical-Legal Institute.</p> <h4>Bringing aid to people facing hardship</h4> <p>Many people in Iraq are still struggling to earn a living and support their families. Between March and May, the ICRC:</p> <p>Distributed over 8 million Iraqi Dinars through cash-for-work scheme, to 450 vulnerable displaced people and residents of Deralok in Dohuk governorate; <br/>Awarded 108 grants to disabled people and women-headed households in Ninawa, Kirkuk, Basra, Missan, Erbil, Baghdad and Sulaimaniya, enabling them to start small businesses and regain economic self-sufficiency. <br/>Distributed individual food and hygiene parcels, including essential household items, to 2475 internally displaced households, benefiting some 14850 people, in the group settlements of Ninawa, Kirkuk and Wasit;</p> <p>Following heavy rainfalls and consequential flooding in Ninawa, Erbil and Salah Al-Din governorates in April, the ICRC assisted affected/displaced households, distributing: 4984 blankets, 634 towels, 1340 hygiene parcels, 1315 tarpaulins, 317 kitchen sets, <br/>763 food parcels, and 11.1 metric tons of rice. The ICRC assistance also reached families affected by the floods in Rabea and Baaj districts.</p> <h4>Assisting health-care facilities</h4> </p></div> <p> <span id="more-13625"></span> <div style="text-align: left; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr"> <p>Health-care services in some rural and conflict-prone areas strive to meet the needs of the civilian population. The ICRC helps renovate premises and train staff. It provides limb-fitting and physical rehabilitation services to disabled people with a view to helping them reintegrate into the community.</p> <p>Between March and May, the ICRC: <br/>- Fitted 741 patients with prostheses and 3797 patients with orthoses at 10 ICRC-supported centres throughout Iraq; <br/>- provided 16 doctors and 43 nurses with a course on strengthening emergency services in Najaf and Sulaimaniya.

Over 230,000 inhabitants, including internally displaced people (IDPs), now have better access to basic health care and emergency services.</p> <h4>Providing clean water and sanitation</h4> <p>Access to clean water remains a challenge in much of Iraq. ICRC engineers repair and upgrade water, electrical and sanitary facilities, especially in places where violence remains a concern and in rural areas, to improve the quality of services provided in communities and health-care facilities.</p> <ul> <li><b>Between March and May, these activities included: <br/></b>delivering daily water by truck in Al-Sadr City, Baghdad, to over 4840 displaced people every day </li> <li>delivering water by truck to Al-Zaidan primary health-care centre in Abu Ghraib district, Baghdad governorate; </li> <li>renovating Hay Tariq and Al-Urfali water complexes in Al-Sadr City serving some 100,000 people; </li> <li>laying sewage pipe in Al-Falahiyah village, in Al-Kut district, Wasit governorate, serving 7,500 people; </li> <li>installing a new compact water purification unit in Al-Nahrawan district, Baghdad governorate, serving about 240,000 people; </li> <li>restoring and extending the capacity of the water treatment plant in Dholo’ya village, in Balad district, Salah Al-Din governorate, serving some 32,000 people; </li> <li>supplying and installing systems for the treatment of saline water in the Himrin area serving about 3,400 people; </li> <li>upgrading Dhab’a boosting stations to improve water pressure in Al-Rutba district, Anbar governorate, serving about 37,000 people; </li> <li>installing 250 units of 1m³ water tanks in Al-Hawraa Village in Al-Kut district, Wasit governorate, benefiting 4,000 displaced persons; </li> <li>renovating Bait Hmood compact unit in Qal’at Salih district in Missan governorate, benefiting some 2,000 people; </li> <li>rehabilitating Graw village water supply in Kirkuk governorate, serving about 2,500 people; </li> <li>partially rehabilitating water treatment plant in Al-Kut district, Wasit governorate, benefiting about 6,000 people; <br/>rehabilitating sanitation blocks in al Rashad Psychiatric hospital in Baghdad; </li> <li>implementing Al-Qosh water projects in Ninawa governorate, benefiting about 45,000 people; </li> <li>rehabilitating the 7th PHCC in Al-Sadr City, Baghdad governorate; </li> <li>implementing Bakhtiari water supply project in Khanaqin district, serving about 6,000 people; </li> <li>installing Ba’shiqa boosting station pump in Ba’shiqa district, benefiting about 20,000 people; </li> </ul> <p>The ICRC also completed the renovation of a sewage system in detention facility in Baghdad, thereby improving the living conditions of 400 detainees.</p> <h4>Visiting detainees</h4> <p>Between March and May, ICRC delegates visited detainees held by the Iraqi authorities and various branches of the Kurdish regional government in 44 places of detention in 15 governorates. They monitored the conditions in which detainees were being held and the treatment they received and shared their observations and recommendations with the detaining authorities. In some places of detention, the ICRC provided detainees with mattresses, blankets and recreational items such as books and games.</p> <p>The ICRC helps restoring and maintaining ties between people held in detention facilities and their families. In March, April and May over 570 Red Cross messages were exchanged between them, in Iraq and abroad. The ICRC responded to over 1600 enquiries from families seeking information on detained or missing relatives.</p> <p>The voluntary repatriation of three released detainees and one body of deceased detainee took place under the auspices of the ICRC. The organization also issued travel documents to 24 persons, mainly refugees, to enable them to resettle abroad.</p> <h4>Clearing unexploded munitions</h4> <p>Iraq is littered with more than 25 million mines and other explosive remnants of war, in particular along the borders with Iran and Turkey. As a result, the safety and livelihood of more than 1.6 million Iraqis are at risk. The ICRC started clearing unexploded munitions in June 2010 in Missan governorate. Over the last eight months, it has removed over 1,600 pieces of unexploded ordnance in 27 communities inhabited by more than 10,000 people.</p> <p>Between March and May, ICRC mine clearance specialists destroyed 10 pieces of unexploded ordnance in four areas where 3,500 civilians had been directly exposed to danger.</p> <h4>Promoting compliance with international humanitarian law</h4> <p>Reminding parties to a conflict of their obligation to protect civilians is a fundamental part of the ICRC’s work. The organization also endeavours to promote and strengthen knowledge of international humanitarian law by organizing presentations and training for military and police forces, prison staff, students and professors.</p> <p>Between March and May, the ICRC organized 19 sessions on international humanitarian law for 914 Iraqi army and police personnel. A total of 160 students from Kufa University, in Najaf, also attended such sessions.</p> <p><b>For further information, please contact: <br/></b>Marie Claire Feghali, ICRC Iraq tel: +962 777 399 614
