Refugees and IDPs in Duhok
• IDPs
During June – August 2014, more than 500,000 people have been
displaced from Ninewa governorate (Mosul city, Ninewa plain,
Zummar and Sinjar areas) toward Duhok governorate because of the
conflict, violence and area occupation by ISIS. This could be
considered as one of the largest internally displacement in the
world. This massive displacement has created a severe humanitarian
crisis exceeded the capabilities of Local Government, UN agencies
and other humanitarian actors to cover the basic needs of the
displaced people. It is worth to mention that the majority of the
displaced people lives in cities, towns and residential complexes in
Duhok province, where they enjoy all the municipal and social
services of water, electricity, housing, security, fuel, traffic, shops,
cleaning services and garbage collection same as the citizens of the
province.
