The Ministry of displacement and migration announces the return of 211ezid refugees to the Sinjar region. These are refugees who have suffered from THE Isil genocide they have decided to return to their homes. An official from the Ministry confirmed that in the next few days they will witness the return of the remaining Yazidis to their homes, and added that the IDPs have returned from the camps (al-Dawadiya, Jum Mishku and camp Persfi) and indicated that the Department receives between 200 and 300 requests daily from displaced persons who want to leave the camps for displaced persons and return to their homes.

Some families are returning home after almost 6 years of displacement and difficult conditions in the camps. Recently, 6 more families of residents of al-Qahtani (tel Azer) returned home.

One of the refugees, Mirza Darvish, said that we decided to return home after 6 years of separation from our Homeland.Today we have started to return home and the region needs the support of humanitarian organizations at this important stage of development and the continued existence of the Yazidi people.

The government of Iraq and UN agencies have restricted the allocation of funds for refugees and internally displaced persons in camps in Iraqi Kurdistan. This was announced by the head of the joint crisis coordination center of Kurdistan Hoshang Mohammed.

"There are more than 1 million IDPs and refugees in Kurdistan, including 744,000 people displaced from other provinces of Iraq, and 264,000 refugees from Syria, Iran, Turkey and Palestine," Mohammad told BasNews. "The Iraqi government and The United Nations have helped these refugees and IDPs well in the past, but they have reduced their funds after the spread of the new coronavirus."

According to Mohammad, the Kurdistan Regional government (KRG) currently finances more than 70% of the cost of running the camps, which has become an unbearable burden on Erbil, which is struggling with a serious financial crisis due to falling oil prices, a coronavirus and a budget dispute with Baghdad.

The official also explained that Iraqi IDPs are reluctant to return to their home cities, fearing a poor security situation, lack of public services and unemployment.

On world refugee day last week, Prime Minister masrour Barzani said his government would "continue to take care of the 1.1 million refugees and internally displaced persons" sheltering in Kurdistan.

"However, we remind the world that international assistance is still needed for their safe return home," he said in a statement.
