Focus on Iraq
Two decades of conflict has taken its toll on the people of Iraq. In 2017, over 3.2 million people were forcibly displaced, mostly migrating to the northern region of the country. Today, many of them are still living as refugees, suffering from a lack of access to basic needs such as proper healthcare and equal employment opportunities. To add, Iraq plays host to over 260,000 Syrian refugees, many of whom also reside in the northern region.
