“The
head of the EU’s humanitarian aid department said on Thursday that
the number of displaced people in Iraq has quadrupled in the last
year and shows no signs of decreasing.”
“The
situation is deteriorating rapidly, Jean-Louis de Brouwer told AP.
The fighting has displaced some 2.7 million people, including 110,000
fleeing renewed fighting in and around Ramadi in the Anbar province
in the past two weeks.”
“The EU
has nearly doubled its allocation for Iraq from $22 million in 2014
to $43 million this year and in June will co-host a new call for
humanitarian aid for Iraq with the UN in Brussels.”
