Camps with internal migrants in Iraq to be closed in 6 months
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AA) – All camps allocated for thousands of internal migrants who took refuge in Iraqi cities due to attacks by the ISIS will be closed within six months, an official said Thursday.
Iraqi Immigration and Displacement Minister Ivan Faik Jabro stressed that as part of the government’s 2023 planning, the camps will be closed in about six months and migrants sent back to their homes.
He noted that other ministries will also support the project and necessary positive living conditions will be provided to migrants where they will return.
Jabro emphasized that the infrastructure of places belonging to immigrants that became unusable during the ISIS attacks should be re-zoned.
“Infrastructure, water, electricity and municipal services should be provided in the immigrants’ areas as soon as possible,” said Jabro. “In the next six months, the relevant ministries must definitely fulfill their duties.
“Security should also be ensured in the best way in the areas where immigrants return,” he said.
