Iraq's progress highlighted as UN calls for action on displacement
Baghdad ( – In a press release statement marking World Humanitarian Day, UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq Ghulam Isaczai urged renewed efforts to support millions of Iraqis still displaced by conflict. Most were uprooted during the fight against ISIS and earlier waves of violence. Isaczai noted that Iraq has made significant progress, with more than five million people returning or resettling thanks to major efforts led from Baghdad, but thousands remain in camps and informal settlements. Lasting solutions, he said, require not only physical return but also access to housing, services, and security. The UN reaffirmed its commitment to working with the Iraqi government to end protracted displacement and ensure dignity and stability for affected communities.
