Is Nincewa crisis the term that is being used?

4. CONTEXT
Escalating violence between Armed Opposition Groups and the Iraqi Government has displaced an estimated 1.7 million IDPs since the Anbar crisis of January 2014
Two major waves of displacement have occurred in the past months: Mosul in early June, and Sinjar and Ninewa plains in early August
Displacement from other Governorates increased as AOGs expanded their geographical scope and the conflict intensified
Many displaced people have arrived in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI), which is currently hosting an estimated 50% of IDPs caseload.
Large areas of Iraq remain inaccessible to humanitarian organisations and little accurate information is available on the needs and situation of people who chose to stay in these areas

5. DISPLACEMENT TRENDS
The spread of violence has led to multiple displacements, with many households experiencing secondary and tertiary displacement
Recent displacement has closely followed a pattern of sectarian lines
Trends can be observed in the displacement patterns of ethnic and religious minorities:
Shabak and Turkmen Shia Minorities from Ninewa Governorate
Christian Minorities from the Ninewa Plains
Yazidi Minorities from Sinjar and surrounding areas
Mixed displacement from Northern Diyala Governorate

6. Shabak & Turkman Shia Minorities
An estimated 30,000 IDP households have arrived in Shia- majority governorates of Southern and Central Iraq since the end of July 2014.
The vast majority of IDPs are Shias from Turkmen and Shabak communities of Ninewa Governorate.
With little to no established links with the host communities, Turkmen and Shabak Shia IDPs are dependent on humanitarian support to meet their most basic needs

7. DISPLACEMENT OF SHABAK & TURKMAN SHIA FROM NINEWA GOVERNORATE 3 – 18 August

8. Christian Minorities from Ninewa Plains
The takeover of Mosul by AOGs on 6-10 June and their later advance into Al Hamdaniya and Tilkaif Districts in the Ninewa Plains on 6 August caused major displacement of Christian communities
These groups were primarily displaced to Christian communities in Erbil and Dohuk Governorates, hosted in churches, collective shelters and host families.
Host communities provided immediate support, but their absorption capacity remains limited and services are overstretched.

DISPLACEME NT FROM SINJAR

10. Yazidi Minorities from the Sinjar area
Yazidi communities were displaced from Sinjar City and surrounding villages following AOG advances on 3 August.
A small percentage of IDPs fled northwards directly into the KRI
Up to 130,000 remained trapped on Mount Sinjar before a ‘safe corridor’, established by Kurdish forces, enabled them to evacuate through Syria.
Approximately 200,000 Yazidis are currently hosted by Kurdish and Yazidi communities in north-eastern Syria and in the neighbouring Dohuk Governorate of the KRI, many staying in camps, empty buildings, collective centres and in the open.

12. Mixed displacement from Northern Diyala
Northern Diyala Governorate is home to a mixture of Sunnis and Shias, from Arab, Kurdish and Turkmen population groups.
Ongoing fighting between Armed Opposition Groups has continued to intensify since June
Activity from several AOGs caused multiple localised displacements towards the safer-perceived cities of Kalar and Khanaquin, and surrounding areas under Kurdish control.

13. MIXED DISPLACEMENT FROM NORTHERN DIYALA GOVERNORATE

14. OVERALL DISPLACEMENT TRENDS 3 – 18 August

15. COORDINATED CLUSTER ASSESSMENTS
REACH is conducting a rapid assessment for the Shelter and CCCM sectors to collect and analyse sector-specific data
This data intend to inform the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) qs well as the Strategic Response Plan (SRP)
HNO, SRP

16. GOALS AND DELIVERABLES
Overall Objective
To contribute to identify Shelter and NFI priority needs of internally displaced population per type of shelter solution
Assessment Outputs
Analytical report and factsheets (including maps if needed)
Assessment database available to clusters and cluster members

17. DATA COLLECTION Three methods of data collection:
Household (HH) survey in camp and IDP ‘hotspot’ locations in accessible areas of KRI and surrounding governorates
Key Informants (KI) Area of Origin assessment for IDP locations inaccessible due to security reasons.
KI assessment in Southern Governorates (Wassit, Kerbala, Babil and Al Najaf)

24. MOVING FORWARD Informing the Strategic Response Plan
REACH assessments for the Humanitarian Needs Overview will inform the revised Strategic Response Plan for Iraq
Ongoing support to the humanitarian response
As the situation begins to stabilise following the most recent major wave of displacement, REACH will continue the following activities:
Entry point monitoring
Area of Origin assessments
Governorate reports
Camp mapping
Direct support to OCHA
