Iraq
The impact of the recent and related displacement continues with still more than a million people displaced, many of whom face significant barriers to return. Over 60 per cent of internally displaced people remain in humanitarian need, as well as 30 per cent of the nearly 5 million Iraqis who have returned home. The Tdh team implements activities to support the physical and mental wellbeing of vulnerable people. We also provide alternatives to detention for children in conflict with the law, improve water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure and provide education activities to promote the return to school.
