Description
After fleeing from the front lines along dangerous routes, these IDPs (internally displaced persons) are now being confined to camps in eastern towns of Anbar governorate, which are subject to occasional ISIS mortar attacks and bombings. The situation in these camps is dire: they are overfull and understaffed, with extreme immediate needs for shelter, water, food, and sanitation.
Having escaped the siege on Fallujah and the control of ISIS, these families are now struggling to survive with limited resources in the heat of Iraq’s summer, with daily temperature highs between 110-120°F (43-49° C). (Photo courtesy of Afkar Society for Relief and Development)
