Nearly 2,000 people have arrived at the Dibaga Camp in Kurdistan since
the offensive for Mosul began on Monday, many of them from Hawija and
others from newly-liberated villages near Mosul.
The new arrivals swell a camp already hosting over 30,000 internally
displaced persons (IDPs) to its limits. Camp residents complain for lack
of shelter and food, but maintain the new life at the camp is much
better than life under ISIS, where there was no schooling or affordable
food.
There are tens of families currently living in a building originally
built for a school but now used to shelter the new arrivals, some
sleeping in the open air.
