• Since Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi
announced the launch of military
operations in Anbar governorate, on 8
April, at least 7 011 families have
been displaced within the governorate
itself, 4 965 families have fled to
Baghdad governorate, around 1 200
families
to
Sulaymaniyah
governorate, in northern Iraq, and
some 110 families to the central
governorate of Babil. ISIL launched a
two prone attack on the city of
Ramadi and surrounding villages, now
being in control of most of these
locations.
• IDP
families
seeking
to
reach
Baghdad governorate are reportedly
blocked at checkpoints. On 16 April,
Baghdad Operations Command (BOC)
announced that all checkpoints, under
Iraqi Security Forces jurisdiction,
would allow entry of IDP families from
Anbar into Baghdad, with BOC being
in charge of monitoring their stay in
the mostly sunny areas of Abu
Ghraib, Mansour and Rasheed. The
latter aggravates already severe
protection
concerns
against
discriminatory treatment of IDPs
fleeing from Anbar governorate.
Direct humanitarian assistance in
these locations remains limited and
constrained
by
access
barriers
imposed
to
humanitarian
organisations by parties to the
conflict.
• Together with partner organisations,
UN agencies distributed immediate
response food rations for 50 000
individuals, core relief items to 7 000
individuals and rapid response kits
(water and hygiene kit) to around 85
000 individuals, in Ramadi district
and Baghdad. Further integration and
coordination of humanitarian efforts is
urgently needed in Baghdad, in order
to maximize the life-saving impact of
ongoing actions.
