Reports

As the ISIL conflict ceased across Iraq, conflict-affected areas in the country experienced an uptick in returns of their internally displaced populations. The pace of this return, however, appears to be slowing, leaving the populations who still remain behind either in, or at risk of, protracted internal displacement. This report provides a brief overview of the theoretical underpinnings of protracted displacement and their implications in the Iraq context, the methodology for this desk review and analysis, a time series of IDP movements, the categorization of reasons IDPs may still be displaced and a discussion of findings.

Internally displaced persons (IDPs) that have recently fled to Wau Town and sought refuge in Lokoloko site as a result of conflict indicate that they have traveled from areas such as Ngoku, Togotivim, Mboro, Ngoalima, Ngokure and Ngodakala. Transport to and from the town has been limited as travel routes have become insecure, and IDPs have resorted to traveling by foot to reach IDP site and host community settings. Local churches and humanitrian partners have been able to provide some support to certian locations in Wau, inluding protection, medical care and water. However, IDPs in Lokoloko indicate that further support is needed.
