Iraqi President traveled to Duhok to check on the refugees.
Today, Wednesday, President Dr. Latif Jamal Rashid arrived in Iraq’s northernmost city of Duhok. He met with Ivan Faiq Jabro, Iraqi Minister of Migration and Refugees, and top Duhok officials to discuss the situation of refugees living in Duhok refugee camps.
President Rashid said there is a national consensus to prioritize the refugee issue. The President stressed providing the refugees with necessary supplies as winter approaches. The President praised the efforts of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to monitor the camps, emphasizing the need to mobilize the actions of the relevant parties in the central government to support the region in this regard.
He also stressed the need to end their suffering by reconstructing and restoring their cities to facilitate their return to their homeland.
Many refugees who live in Duhok refuse to return to their homes for security reasons. Duhok governorate has taken many refugees, especially Yazidis, as they lived in Duhok and its neighboring Mosul province.
