More than 82,000 people in Iraq have been displaced by ongoing Mosul military operations since 17 October, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on Tuesday.

This figure represents an increase of more than 4,200 individuals in the past four days (since 2 December). 

IOM Iraq Chief of Mission Thomas Lothar Weiss noted: "Thousands of Iraqis continue to be displaced by military operations in Mosul every week. They have had to flee their homes despite great risk, many on foot, and are in need of comprehensive humanitarian assistance."

"IOM is working with humanitarian partners and in cooperation the Government of Iraq’s Ministry of Migration and Displacement (MOMD) to provide shelter and other life-saving supplies. It is also rehabilitating four schools in Gwer to support displaced communities," he added.

Since 17 October to date, displacement from Mosul operations stands at 82,068 people; over 46,300 internally displaced people (IIDPs) are from the sub-district of Markaz Mosul, where Mosul City is located. 

The majority of the displaced are from Mosul district (88 percent, around 72,300 individuals) and the districts of Tilkaif (around 5 percent, over 4,200 individuals), Al-Hamdaniya (over 3 percent, over 2,800 individuals), Telefar (2 percent, nearly 1,200 individuals) and Makhmur (less than 1 percent, 300 individuals). 

These displacements are in addition to the more than 3 million Iraqis currently displaced across the country since January 2014.

Amidst chilling winter temperatures in Iraq, the immediate needs of these populations include assistance to stay warm in winter months. For both out of camp populations in newly retaken areas, as well as for those in camps, IOM is providing services including shelter assistance, winter emergency household items, health services and fuel for more than 240,000 people. 

Since the Mosul military operations began, IOM has distributed emergency household items to nearly 100,000 displaced people, host communities and returnees. 

Distributions included winter kits with blankets, heaters, and mattresses. Emergency Sites are planned to provide safe and warm shelter during the harsh winter season for more than 150,000 people affected by military operations. Recent distributions have taken place in Ninewa, Salah al-Din, Erbil and Anbar governorates.
