[size=45]Translation: Hamed Ahmed[/size]
[size=45]An international report placed Iraq among the list of the most fragile countries in the world, pointing to the presence of 3 million women and children in need of protection and assistance, and spoke of the existence of a major crisis of trust between the citizen and the authority, considering the fight against corruption a priority and concern for Iraqis.[/size]
[size=45]A report prepared by World Vision, the global organization for humanitarian aid and development programs, translated by Al-Mada, stated that "Iraq is one of the most fragile countries in the world, afflicted with many challenges after decades of wars, battles and instability."[/size]
[size=45]The report, titled (Finding the Link Factors: For a Brighter Future for the Children of Iraq), added that "the challenges include political turmoil and societal distrust with millions of affected Iraqis who returned to their areas with broken services, and another million people who are still displaced living in camps."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out, "Iraq has bore the consequences of wars and instability for four decades, which have hindered its ability to avoid recurring crises with the endemic fragility in all dimensions."[/size]
[size=45]The report stated, "While Iraq is considered one of the countries with a higher-than-average income within the Middle East and North Africa region, this classification leads to a significant unfairness in the distribution of wealth."[/size]
[size=45]He stressed, "The recurring conflicts and battles inside the country and in the region have prevented stability, and these conflicts and battles have left millions of people living in displacement in different parts of the country, generating great humanitarian needs."[/size]
[size=45]The report pointed out that "the most comprehensive and illustrative indicator of the context in which Iraq is living is the index of fragility cases supported by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which put Iraq in the 11th hierarchy as the most fragile country in the world out of a total of 175 countries that were briefed on their conditions."[/size]
[size=45]He explained, "The campaign of violence launched by the terrorist organization ISIS across Iraq and Syria has left millions of refugees and displaced people settled in camps and displacement camps distributed between the governorates of the Kurdistan Region of Sulaymaniyah, Erbil and Dohuk, as well as in the governorates of Nineveh and Kirkuk."[/size]
[size=45]The report stressed, "The information indicates the presence of 250 thousand Syrian refugees in Iraq until January 2021 distributed through the camps of Dohuk, Erbil, Halabja and Sulaymaniyah, in addition to the presence of 1.2 million displaced Iraqis who are still living in camps and have not returned to their areas of origin."[/size]
[size=45]And he stated, "98% of the displaced in Nineveh governorate are from the same governorate," stressing that "two-thirds of their homes are destroyed, which hinders their return to their areas and residential neighborhoods."[/size]
[size=45]The report considered, "This situation has increased the obstacles to their access to humanitarian aid by the relevant and specialized organizations."[/size]
[size=45]The report continues, "People's trust in the government has decreased significantly over the past decade, as a result of resentment over cases of corruption, poor accountability, lack of job opportunities, and unfair distribution of services."[/size]
[size=45]He stressed, "The issue of the spread of corruption has become the main concern for Iraqis," and reported that "32 percent of those surveyed said that corruption occupies the first challenge facing the country, while 22 percent said they believe that the government has pledged to fight corruption."[/size]
[size=45]The report stated, "The last survey conducted in 2019 within the (Arab Barometer) Foundation showed that the lack of confidence in the state and the political system, especially among young people, as well as economic grievances, was a fuel that ignited widespread protests across the country since October 2019, with the people's confidence in the government's ability to face the challenges the country faces.[/size]
[size=45]He continues, "More than one million displaced Iraqis and 1.3 million returnees are in need of assistance in Iraq, as of January 2021, including 730 thousand who need food insurance assistance."[/size]
[size=45]The report added, "1.3 million need emergency living assistance, 2.2 million people need health care, and 1.3 million need educational and educational services."[/size]
[size=45]He continues, "The most vulnerable groups are children, whose number is estimated at 1.7 million children, as well as 1.3 million women who need protection from violence."[/size]
[size=45]The report finds, "Meeting these urgent humanitarian needs is essential to achieving stability and enabling Iraqis to create sustainable solutions and work to bridge the gaps in this area."[/size]
[size=45]And he added, "The international organization, in order to confront these challenges, recommends that the government provide funds to meet urgent needs and focuses on assistance in the field of housing infrastructure and providing durable solutions for returnees from the displaced to their areas."[/size]
[size=45]The report went on, "The organization called on donors from agencies and international organizations to provide funding programs in line with the situation and to coordinate work between them and the government and other partner organizations."[/size]
