Five years after the start of the ISIL crisis in Iraq, more than 1.8 million people remain displaced. While the majority of internally displaced persons living outside of camps initially saw their living conditions improve in the years immediately after displacement, now many live in a state of limbo–often working in the informal labour sector, still crowding extended families into small living spaces and relying on funds from family members or government pensions. These are the findings of the latest round of an ongoing, multi-year study the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Georgetown University have conducted with nearly 4,000 internally displaced families living out of camps. “Access to Durable Solutions: Three Years in Displacement” is the third round of the survey since the IOM/Georgetown study began in 2015.
