The worst holiday for the displaced in Iraq and the next unknown

Imad al-Shammari-Erbil

It is not surprising that the festivals are continuing on the displaced people of the camps without any radical solutions to lift them out of the miserable situation and set a schedule to return them to their areas that the government declared completely liberated from the Islamic State in 2017, which is what the Baghdad government has almost completely.

But the strangeness lies in the arrival of the displaced to the degree of certainty not to return to their homes, and they only have to cope with the situation.

Grumble and despair
To make matters worse, this holiday - which is number 11 in the displacement journey - is worse than its predecessors on tents, he told Al-Jazeera Net Hamdi Latif, one of the displaced people of a camp in Erbil.

"We thought things would get better over the days but they went against what we had hoped for," said Latif.

The absence of humanity
"We were struggling with the supplies we received from local and international organizations, even if they were less," said the displaced, Ali Hussein Rajab.

This is supported by Saad Thabet al-Nazih of Nineveh province, who said, "The atmosphere of Eid completely disappeared from the camps and we hope that the holidays will be like all the other days, but they became much heavier with the heartbreak of children because they do not get new clothes or go to entertainment places .. This holiday is the most difficult We".

Badr al-Din, the director of a camp in the movement of the absence of most of the recent organizations under the pretext of their orientation to support the returnees to their areas, ignoring the fact that tens of thousands of families remain under the harsh living conditions and climate, and the impact of this harshness shortens the federal government, as the whole burden falls on us to provide the necessary components of life, even The consideration of the issue of displaced persons by the parliament is forgetting this segment.

Confessions
In the face of the untold suffering of the tents and the inhabitants of the tents, the government cannot defend itself to justify its failure. Amira al-Dulaimi, head of civil society and human rights organizations in the Anbar Provincial Council, said, "The default is behind it for political benefits of government actors. Some do not want the return of the displaced, and the Baghdad government does not pay attention to its duty to resolve this issue."

These statements confirm the views of IDPs that Eid al-Adha this year is the worst of the holidays, and that the most recent times are more difficult than its predecessors after the absence of humanitarian organizations and the United Nations lifted its hand to provide assistance in the camps in front of its flimsy pretext to pay attention to returnees to areas recovered from the grip of 'terrorism'.

The word finally united between the displaced and the federal government that the situation of the displaced today is worse than any era since 2014, but the word is tipped to ignore the government and the surrender of the reality of the situation, to move the situation of hundreds of thousands towards a future that foreshadows its future disaster.
