Thousands of internally displaced Iraqis obtain civil documentation thanks to EU support [EN/AR]
Format
IRAQ - UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has provided legal assistance to over 64,400 people from January 2019 to June 2020, including legal counselling and representation before administrative and judicial instances, thanks to the support of donors such as the European Union (EU).
In 2019 and 2020, the EU has donated up to EUR 6 million in humanitarian aid for internally displaced people (IDP) in Iraq to the UNHCR. With this support, UNHCR continues to deliver vital assistance to thousands of IDPs through the provision of critical protection services, including legal assistance, access to civil documentation, and camp coordination and camp management (CCCM) support. Furthermore, in the current COVID-19 context, the EU’s humanitarian support has also contributed to UNHCR’s contingency plan in response to the pandemic.
