Meet Sharefa Daw, Resettlement Caseworker at the IRC in Dallas.

Between October 2024 and March 2025, the IRC’s protection monitoring in Anbar, Kirkuk, and Ninewa identified ongoing challenges for IDPs, returnees, and host communities. Key issues included access to essential services, civil documentation gaps, child protection risks, and emerging vulnerabilities related to climate change.

Right now, an Iraqi military operation to retake the ISIS-controlled city of Mosul is underway and 200,000 terrified citizens are expected to flee the city in the first weeks. Learn how you can help.
