Leaving a crisis behind in Iraq

As the U.S. government withdraws its troops from Iraq, it leaves behind a major crisis in the region—with three million Iraqis displaced and desperate and tens of thousands of others in danger because they worked for the U.S. military. In a statement released today, the International Rescue Committee said that U.S. and coalition governments have a responsibility to help the most vulnerable.
We urged the U.S. government, donor countries and the government of Iraq to take a number of important steps to help displaced Iraqis who face an uncertain future.
