Interviews and discussions took place with IDPs living in urban areas of Erbil and Dohuk, as well as in Khazer, Hajj Ali, and Al Salamiyah camps.

The survey was developed with input from humanitarian agencies in Iraq to gather feedback from IDPs on the provision of humanitarian aid there.

More background and information about the demographics and methodology can be found at the end of this report.

Where relevant, we also include bar charts for several questions from the first round of quantitative data collection with responses quantified on a Likert scale from 1 to 5.

The charts show the distribution (in ) of answer options chosen for each question with colours ranging from dark red for negative answers to dark green for positive ones.

The mean or average score is also shown on a scale of 1 to 5.

Access to healthcare, medical supplies, and reduced food distribution continues to trouble those living in camps and urban areas, according to discussion participants.

Difficulty accessing potable water and proper sanitation is pronounced in the camps, posing a risk to public health in densely populated areas.

Survey data reinforces these concerns about the lack of self-sufficiency, as over half of those interviewed say the support they currently receive is insufficient to live without aid in the future.

Quantitative survey data reveals that IDPs generally do not feel that circumstances are improving for people in Iraq (Figure 1).

We advocate for effective and principled humanitarian action by all, for all.
