Geneva - MENA
More than 3.1 million Iraqis have been displaced by conflict since the beginning of 2015, including over 250,000 individuals from Ramadi, the capital of Anbar governorate, according to a report by the International Organization for Migration's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM).
The DTM has identified 3,112,914 persons displaced by conflict in Iraq. The majority, 67%, are sheltered in private settings that include rented housing, host families and hotels while 20% are identified as living in critical shelter arrangements, which include unfinished buildings, religious buildings, informal settlements and schools. About 8% of those currently displaced in Iraq are living in camp settings.
The latest IOM Iraq Emergency Tracking data has identified more than 75,000 individuals displaced from the Fallujah area since 8 July, as Iraqi Security Forces intensify their efforts to regain control of the city from armed groups.
