IRAQ SITUATION
UNHCR FLASH UPDATE 25 April 2017
POPULATION MOVEMENT
Ongoing conflict in Tel Afar district causes significant displacement into southern
Zummar district. Since 21 April, an estimated 5,650 individuals have crossed into Zummar as the conflict advances in west Mosul and access to basic services and essential humanitarian assistance reduces. Authorities have been routing the newly displaced to
Hammam Al-Alil (HAA) transit centre. Some 2,350 individuals have already passed through HAA and, around 300 persons, continued to Nargazila camp on 25 April, while others have opted to stay in HAA transit area in anticipation that the second section of the HAA camp will open soon.
Number of departures surpass arrivals at camps east and north of Mosul. Between 21 and 23 April, 313 families (1,549 individuals) arrived to camps east of Mosul, while 436 families (2,251 individuals) departed. In the north, 57 families (318 individuals) arrived, while 81 families (436 individuals) departed. Arrivals were mainly due to conflict in west Mosul. Returns were primarily to east Mosul with returnees looking to resume employment as civil servants, continue children’s education, and reunite with family. More than 4,600 plots are currently available in camps in these areas.
New arrivals to camps south of Mosul are stretching available capacity. A total of 1,005 families (6,030 individuals), the majority of whom are from west Mosul, arrived to the camps over the past two days, most to Haj Ali and Jad’ah 5. At the same time, 629 families (3,774 individuals) departed, mainly from the same two camps. Insecurity and lack of food, water, basic services, and assistance has meant that IDPs continue to flee liberated areas where returns are ongoing. IDPs also continue to flee from areas of west Mosul controlled by armed groups, despite considerable risks along the route to safety.
SITUATION UPDATE
Turkish forces conducted airstrikes on Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) targets in Sinjar, in Ninewa Governorate in northern Iraq. The attacks took place on 25 April and it was denounced by Iraq’s Foreign Ministry as a “violation” of its sovereignty and called on the international community to put an end to such “interference”. Turkey also conducted airstrikes on alleged PKK positions in Dahuk Governorate between 21 and 23 April. UN missions to Sinjar, except the most urgent and essential ones, have been suspended until 30 April.
UN Habitat assessment reveals extensive destruction in western Mosul. The report indicates that during the past month the right bank of the Tigris River in west Mosul sustained the greatest amount of damage. Airstrikes and clashes have hit residential neighbourhoods, in particular Al-Rabee, which accounts for more than 30% of residential damage in Mosul, with 481 residential buildings identified by satellite imagery as heavily damaged or completely destroyed since 30 March.
RESPONSE UPDATE
UNHCR and protection partners have identified several instances of secondary displacement. Some families from west Mosul first moved to liberated quarters on the eastern side of the city to stay with relatives; however, they subsequently chose to move to Khazer and Hasansham camps because they were unable to support themselves. In addition, several returnee families from liberated areas were forced to go back to camps due to the destruction of their homes and lack of services in their area of return.
Authorities in Kirkuk provide IDPs with access to safety. On 23 April, following advocacy efforts on the part of UNHCR and protection partners, authorities allowed 69 IDPs fleeing Hawiga who had been stranded at the buffer zone in Sultan Maree village to pass the Maktab Khalid checkpoint and onwards to Laylan 3 camp.
UNHCR needs USD 212 million in 2017 to continue providing urgent protection, shelter and camp coordination and camp management assistance to Iraqis displaced from Mosul
