Due to the poor security conditions in the cities of Baghdad and Mosul, the exodus of hundreds of families from the cities to the towns and villages in northern Iraq and the Nineveh Plains continued.

The number of displaced families is about five thousand families and the number continues to increase with time. Hundreds of families left their homes to the north villages and towns seeking security & peace, living with their mostly poor relatives and friends. It was our humanitarian duty to support them when they were in a very need for any type of support; therefore, we have executed many relief programs in the last two years.
These programs included distributing food materials, blankets and fuel for heating in Sapna, Zakho, Barwaribala area, Duhok City center and Nineveh Plain villages and towns like: Baretla, Tel Keppe, Alqosh, Baghdeda, Tel Esqopa, Batnaye, Einsifne, Baashiqa and others.

It's worth mentioning that our AAS-I continues support efforts for this program and the number of the families is increasing. Most recent support consisted of distributing basic food supplies in villages and towns of Nineveh Plain and also in Duhok city center and the surrounded villages.

We had another similar program for resettling families coming from Baghdad, Mosul, Duhok and other big cities to resettle in their original villages. Our program included; providing tents, blankets, basic food materials, agricultural tools, basic home needs…etc in Fishkhabor, Derabon, Sharanesh villages in Zakho area, Sardashti, Malakhta, Aqri, Khwari and Kanbalavi in Barwaribala area, Tin and Benatha in Sapna area, and Heish in Rekan area. We are continuing our relief program to help needy and refugee families including distributing basic food materials from our main office in Duhok city center.

AAS-I presents various types of aid to needy families in different areas, according to applications presented.
