Housing crisis threatens Yazidi families wanting to return to Shangal
With the continued return to the Shangal district and Tazair district, there are hundreds of Yazidi families who are unable to return due to the damage done to their homes in recent years due to Islamic state (ISIL) control over the region.
Amin Abdo, one of the returnees to the district center of Shangal, who lived in the Tal Uzair area before the August 2014 events, says that " the Homes of most residents of Shangal, especially in the southern villages and towns, most of them were destroyed by airstrikes or blown up by ISIL . The reason why many Yazidi families do not return is that there are no habitable homes for them in most parts of Shangal. My house was in the Tal Uzair area. I decided to go back a long time ago, because my house is not adapted for life. We and many displaced people who want to return choose between rebuilding or repairing our homes at our own expense or staying in camps and waiting for the government, and I will resort to the first option, and if the government has a goal to help people, then hundreds of families will return during this period,” he added.
Abdo points out that " houses between partial and total destruction are once again not habitable, and people are currently not thinking about building them because they cost exorbitant amounts, and this is one of the reasons why many displaced people do not return to their areas."
Shangal, located West of Nineveh since June last year, has been experiencing an intense wave of returns of displaced people who have been living in Kurdistan camps since 2014
