Iraq now has the third largest population of IDPs in the world, and as government forces begin their assault on Fallujah in what is expected to be one of the biggest battles fought against Daesh, the humanitarian crisis is set to deepen still.
“To be liberated, cities are obliterated,” Professor Mundher Al-Adhami – the first speaker of the afternoon – said of Ramadi and Fallujah, where “nobody has gone back”.
The US and UK had failed to acknowledge Iraqis’ suffering, he added, describing Iraq as a “bad story” which they “don’t want to talk about”.
