Erbil, Iraq – 9 February 2021 – Destroyed houses remain one of the main obstacles that prevent many internally displaced persons from returning to their hometowns and communities.
The absence of housing, jobs, and basic services such as water, sanitation, electricity, schools and health clinics, means that displaced people will try to remain in camps as long as possible. Alternatively, returning to their hometowns may mean moving in with relatives, sometimes three or four families in the same house, or renting, establishing temporary shelters in informal sites, or living in unfinished or empty buildings.

Iraq: Humanitarian Snapshot (December 2020)
Format
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS: HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE GAPS
In preparation for the 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), OCHA Iraq is undertaking an extensive review of the humanitarian response in 2020. The analysis considers various factors to determine operational progress and gaps, including the needs of IDPs and returnees, partner reach, access conditions, and indicators of basic services and social cohesion in areas of origin and areas of secondary displacement.
Some discrepancies between target and reach are evident: during the 2020 response, there were significant gaps between cluster targets and beneficiaries reached in 18 out of the total 36 districts (50 per cent) with a high number of people in acute need. Humanitarian partners reached less than 50 per cent of the targeted in-camp IDPs, out-of-camp IDPs and returnees in these districts.
