| 06/01/2010 | IRAQ:MP calls for more IDP funding |
| BAGHDAD, 5 January 2010 (IRIN) - An Iraqi member of parliament has said the proposed extra government funding for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees is insufficient. Abdul-Khaliq Zankana, head of parliament's committee on displacement and migration, said 200 billion Iraqi dinars (US$169.5 million) is to be allocated in the currently proposed 2010 budget for the Displacement and Migration Ministry. 'Although it is more than what was allocated in 2009, it still won't alleviate all the suffering of IDPs and returnees and [significantly] improve their living conditions,' Zankana told IRIN. According to recent government figures, there are nearly 2.6 million IDPs in Iraq and about two million Iraqi refugees in neighbouring countries, mainly Syria and Jordan. read more... |
