Mosul
1.8 million people displaced since January 2014 1.5 million individuals in host communities 1.7 million vulnerable Iraqis who are not IDPs but live in areas directly impacted by the conflict. 215,000 Syrian refugees.
Vulnerable groups in Iraq continue to suffer the cumulative effects of civil war, mass displacement, social tension, and a considerably weakened social sector. This situation is compounded by the low quality of essential health, water, and sanitation services caused by decades of under-investment in social infrastructure.
