WFP Iraq Country Brief, November & December 2018

Operational Updates

• Returns of displaced Iraqis to their areas of origin continue, with more than 4 million returnees and 1.8 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) as of 31 December (IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix). Despite the difficulties, 62 percent of IDPs surveyed in camp settings by the REACH Multi Cluster Needs Assessment (MCNA) VI indicated their intention to remain in the camps, due to lack of security, livelihoods opportunities and services in their areas of origin.
