About [Edit]
Since November 2006, Refugees International has led the call for increased assistance to Iraqi refugees and displaced people.
The displacement of Iraqis from Iraq is now the fastest-growing refugee crisis in the world.
The UN estimates that nearly 4 million Iraqis have been displaced by violence in their country, the vast majority of which have fled since 2003. Some 1.9 million have vacated their homes for safer areas within Iraq, 2 million are now living in Syria, Jordan, Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen, and Turkey. Most Iraqis are determined to be resettled to Europe or North America, and few consider return to Iraq an option. With no legal work options in their current host countries, Iraqis are already exploring the use of false documents to migrate to Western nations.
