Highlights
With the beginning of the IDPs crisis in Iraq early January 2014 and accelerated later in June, IDPs from surrounding Governorates such as Salah-Al-Din, Mosul, Diyala, Baghdad and Anbar fled to Kirkuk. Kirkuk Governorate hosts the third largest case load of IDPs in Iraq. IOM-DTM figure stand at 62,910 IDP families (377,460) as of 18 June 2015 and MoDM/Kirkuk reported 110,000 IDP families (600,000 individuals) scattered all over Kirkuk as of 28 June. The sharp increase in MoDM figure as compared to last update (81,000families- 31 May) is attributed to the re-opening of IDPs registration after the lapse of 09 months on 31 May - 04 June 2015. Kirkuk also witnessed inward internal displacement that fled from southwest areas such as Hawija, Al Rashad, Al Riyadh and Al Multaqa Sub Districts. The large influx is settled in and around Kirkuk city. The majority IDPs are living in renting homes, relatives, unfinished houses, abandoned public building.
