[size=52]An international organization: Iraq is among the list of countries most at risk[/size]

[size=45]Translation: Hamed Ahmed[/size]
[size=45]A report by an international organization stated that Iraq is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world, and talked about other crises in addition to political problems, represented by floods, earthquakes and epidemics, despite the fact that the level of income in it is higher than the average.[/size]
[size=45]And the French Red Cross organization working in Iraq stated in a new report issued this week on ways to mitigate the risks of disasters and crises, that "Iraq is exposed to a humanitarian crisis that requires international assistance."[/size]
[size=45]The report, entitled (The Final Evaluation of the Disaster Risk Mitigation Project) and its translation (range), added, "The Information Index on Risk Management (Inform) Index places Iraq in sequence (14) as the most vulnerable country in the world."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out, that “Iraq, as it is prone to political instability, violence, corruption and natural hazards, including earthquakes, floods and the spread of epidemics, is at a high degree of risk of humanitarian crises in it, and this requires international assistance, even though it is a country, in an abnormal way, with a higher income than the average.” “.[/size]
[size=45]The report pointed out that "the country's classification among the highest levels of risk comes when it is exposed to risks and the lack of absorptive capacity to confront and treat this danger."[/size]
[size=45]He stressed that "the risks of humanitarian crises in the country were placed in sequence 9, and this included the potential risks of conflict and an escalation of violence."[/size]
[size=45]The report noted that “Iraq, due to its geographical and geographical location, is prone to falling into several dangers,” stressing that “a review of the database of previous disasters that befell Iraq estimates that the country has been exposed to 37 disasters over the past 65 years, ranging from river floods to heat waves. drought and earthquakes.[/size]
[size=45]He stated, "Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, Iraq has faced needs in preparing to contain and confront the epidemic."[/size]
[size=45]The report finds, "To address these problems and by forming a coalition between the Iraqi Red Crescent, the Swedish Red Cross and the French Red Cross, a disaster risk mitigation project was secured."[/size]
[size=45]And he stated, "The project aims to enhance the resilience of the vulnerable segments of the Iraqi people by increasing their awareness of the danger of disasters and strengthening preparations to confront these risks at the societal and governmental levels."[/size]
[size=45]The report emphasized that "the project focuses mainly on the method of disaster risk management for the community, preparation and preparation for it," noting that "the project also includes developing the capabilities of the Iraqi Red Crescent cadres in managing and addressing risks because state institutions suffer from a shortage and limitations in the field of disaster management and response."[/size]
[size=45]And he added, "The project, and in light of what is related to the treatment of the Corona epidemic, also included a dedicated treatment for this issue," and he talked about the application of "the project in four governorates, which included Sulaymaniyah, Babil, Wasit and Maysan."[/size]
[size=45]He continues, "The project aims to strengthen the capabilities to confront disasters and health crises by improving the awareness of the meaning of danger and the importance of containing this danger and mitigating its effects," explaining that "the capabilities include confronting the danger by reporting it and what can be done to mitigate it and prepare for it."[/size]
[size=45]The report added, "The French Red Cross has been operating in the Kurdistan region since 2013, especially in the governorates of Dohuk and Erbil, and the organization's activity has been expanded to include the governorates of Babil, Wasit, Maysan and Sulaymaniyah."[/size]
[size=45]He cautioned, "The organization's focus was first on the influx of Syrian refugees into Iraq, and then directed its attention to the internal displacement crisis, the challenges of displacement and the possibility of returning to the areas of origin. The organization provided services to the displaced, ranging from providing housing, educational and relief services.[/size]
[size=45]Statistics indicate that the terrorist organization ISIS, from 2014 to 2017, caused the displacement of 1.029.102 million Iraqi families.[/size]
[size=45]These families were displaced from their homes in more than eight governorates, in the north and center of the country, looking for shelter in all governorates of the country.[/size]
[size=45]As of December 2021, approximately 825,372 families have returned to their areas of origin, equivalent to 80% of the total displaced during the ISIS crisis, while 203,730 thousand displaced families are still displaced, the majority of which are located in Nineveh Governorate by 21%, Dohuk by 22% and Erbil by 19%.[/size]
