The number of refugees inside of Iraq has reached two millions
In the end of August, 2007, has reached record figure in 2 million person Number of the Iraqis, compelled because of incessant violence over the country to leave their houses and to search for refuges in special camps or mosques.
International humanitarian organizations name so mass outcome of the population as “unprecedented humanitarian tragedy in the history of Iraq”.
In comparison with July, 2007, the number of displaced persons in Iraq has increased on 71,1 %. Thus, now most of all refugees are concentrated in Baghdad and its vicinities in proportion one million of immigrants to four million capital inhabitants.
The problem of immigrants from Iraq in neighboring countries and in the countries of the Europe completes the problem of “internal refugees”. The number of such emigrants from the moment of the beginning of the American antiIraq campaign (in 2003) has exceeded two million people. Now in the Syria, Iraq’s neighbor, 1,4 million people are the refugees from Iraq and in Jordan this number deviates from 500 up to 750 thousand people.
UN Security Council cannot explain the reasons of so prompt growth of number of the compelled immigrants in Iraq in terms, when the Iraq and American militarians declare the serious successes, reached in struggle against illegal armed formations, and also in realization of the plan on normalization of safety measures in the Iraq capital.
Thus UN Security Council call the international community, and in particular, the Arabian countries to provide the maximal help in solving the problem of Iraq refugees and rendering assistance to the compelled immigrants. More than 77 % of refugees are women, children and old men; the majority of them live below the breadline, shortages of the foodstuffs and medicines.
