Iraq
The violence perpetrated by the Islamic State group has forced hundreds of thousands of families to flee their homes. The humanitarian crisis in Iraq is now entering a new phase and those who are returning to their homes are faced with destruction and devastation. However, 1.5 million people remain internally displaced. While Tdh is still one of the first international NGOs to provide emergency assistance in hard-to-reach areas, our team implements activities to support the physical and mental wellbeing of vulnerable people.
