In #Iraq, relegating 1.1 million IDPs to "footnote status" would be a departure from humanitarian principles, a quiet acceptance of exclusion on the basis of displacement status, and—in the longer term—culpability in onward and secondary displacement. nrc.no/resources/repo…

Proud of the work that @RESCUE_MENA Iraq team in collaboration with PCI partners @NRC_MiddleEast and @DRC_ngo are doing to center protection and durable solutions in the work of key stakeholders and policy makers in #Iraq
Imrul@glumphish

Thank you to all the diplomatic missions and donor representatives who joined us today in #Baghdad, and to @ECHO_MiddleEast for supporting the collective action and advocacy of the Protection Consortium of Iraq. Solutions to displacement are achievable only when we cooperate.

You are going to hear a lot about Iranian ‘Kamikaze drones’ such as the Shahed in the coming days. @sanjanamv and the rest of our team wrote a brilliant visual piece if you want to understand them and the physical and psychological toll they have airwars.org/investigation/…

Israel keeps showing us crystal clear images their surveillance drones capture. This means they clearly saw the convoy of civilians headed south along the pre-approved “evacuation” route and knew exactly who they targeted when they carried out a strike killing 70 civilians.

The IDF continues the effort to move the residents of the Gaza Strip in order to protect them in the Gaza Strip.

The United States and other peer nations do a great disservice to their citizens when they issue statements expressing unwavering support to Israel, devoid of context and ignoring decades of IHL violations and rights abuses.

Any media narrative that does not acknowledge the occupation and the siege as the root cause of all of this is insidious and inaccurate.

"We are also concerned about the complete removal of the 2024-25 budget for #Iraq . The IRC runs an impactful #FCDO funded consortium....together with local organisations representing women, youth and minority leaders. This cut means programmes such as this will cease to exist"
International Rescue Committee - UK@RESCUE_UK

"We welcome the projected increases to bilateral aid in 2024-25. However, we are concerned by the ongoing impact that the Treasury’s decision to cut ODA will have during 2023-24." Our response to FCDO Annual accounts: rescue.org/uk/press-relea…

Latest @RESCUEorg survey of households in Anbar, Ninewa, Kirkuk & Salah al-Din finds that tough finances are contributing to child labor & increased vulnerability of adolescent boys, who may start begging & labor jobs like rubbish collection to support household finances.

Cost of closing the IDP file in #Iraq is households forced into perma-displacement. Without significant reconstruction efforts and access to compensation, 'home' is an elusive ideal at best. rudaw.net/english/middle…
