تساهم شراكة المفوضية مع @JccKrg  في العراق  في استمرار عمل هذه المخيمات يوميًا.

يُعدّ مديرو المخيمات ركيزة أساسية للحياة فيها، إذ يضمنون وصول الخدمات الأساسية إلى الجميع.

شكرًا لإيطاليا على جعل هذا ممكنًا 🇮🇹

بعد توقف المساعدات النقدية التي تقدمها المفوضية في العراق أواخر العام الماضي، تعاني أسر اللاجئين الأكثر ضعفاً من آثارها:

💸 71% أُجبروا على الاستدانة
📚 30% من الأطفال انقطعوا عن الدراسة
📉 43% يتناولون وجبات أقل
🏚️ 5% طُردوا من منازلهم

هناك حاجة إلى تمويل لاستئناف المساعدات

[UNHCR Iraq @UNHCRIraq]

After UNHCR Iraq’s cash assistance ended late last year, vulnerable refugee families are feeling the impact: 
💸 71% forced into debt 
📚 30% of children dropped out of school 
📉 43% eat fewer meals 
🏚️ 5%  evicted 

Urgent funding is needed to restart assistance
