Our work in Iraq
As the situation in Iraq has evolved since 2017, and the country focuses on recovery and reconstruction efforts, the ICRC has also been significantly adapting its operations in line with the remaining humanitarian needs across the country. Many of our activities are carried out in cooperation with the Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS) and the relevant authorities.
Our activities mainly focus on vulnerable groups, namely detainees, displaced families, returnees, the missing and their families, persons with disabilities and communities living in highly contaminated areas. Additionally, we always stand ready to support the authorities in responding to emergencies arising from any potential new episodes of violence in the country.
