KHAZIR, Kurdistan Region--Two camps for Internally Displaced People (IDPs) are nearly completed in Khazir, northeast of Mosul, in preparation for an estimated 300,000 people expected to flee Mosul during the long anticipated offensive against the Islamic State (ISIS).
In these camps, resources are limited. Each family receives one tent no bigger than a couple square meters. Outside each group of tents, there is a row of showers and toilet stalls, all limited in protection
from the elements, such as dust storms and rain.
These camps are built by the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
The UN is building similar camps along the Kurdistan Region borders to house 1 million people expected to be displaced by the Mosul battle.
