There are 2,086,356 internally displaced people (IDPs) dispersed across 2,049 distinct locations in Iraq, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported on Tuesday.
It added that 54 percent of the total 2014 displaced population (187,686 families - an estimated 1,126,116 individuals) has been recorded from the 1st of August until present day. IOM also said that it recently launched the 4th Humanitarian Supply Chain Simulator (HSCS) in Jordan to help with the Iraqi displaced persons.
HSCS is a training program aimed at improving the skills of humanitarian personnel to carry out their duties efficiently.
Over 2 million Iraqis have been displaced due to conflict in 2014 alone. They are in need for water, food, clothing, shelter and non-food items, and need assistance to prepare for cold winter months.
