COVID-19 HELP FOR INTERNALLY DISPLACED PEOPLE FROM DOHUK IN SINJAR DISTRICT

Many families who fled their homes in the Sinjar district for Dohuk to escape the atrocities of the so-called Islamic State (IS) are now gradually returning. However, years of crisis, war damage, mismanagement, and the brain drain have severely impacted the Iraqi health system. Conflict-affected populations have no access to or the ability to purchase essential hygiene and cleaning supplies. This, in turn, has a negative impact on public health and the dignity of the highly vulnerable returnees. The limited or poor quality of WASH facilities and poor hygiene practices increase the risk of the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. The organization Mission East, with its long-standing experience in the region, plans to support 560 families who have returned to Sinjar from IDP camps in Dohuk with COVID-19 measures as part of the project. Hygiene and cleaning kits as well as IEC (Information, Education, Communication) materials such as leaflets and posters on key topics will be distributed. Trained hygiene ambassadors will also provide information on important hygiene practices to prevent the further spread of COVID-19.
