Elderly Displaced Woman Flees Mosul To Debaga Camp

Across the region, UNHCR is stepping up its preparations to receive those displaced by the fighting to retake Mosul, a once-thriving city that had a population of around 2.5 million before it was captured in June 2014. In Iraq, 11 facilities are being prepared in anticipation of large-scale displacement from Mosul, which the UN has estimated could reach one million people. The camps will have a total capacity of up to 120,000 people by year’s end, and UNHCR is also securing a total of 30,000 additional tents and 50,000 emergency shelter kits to house families on the move.
