ERBIL, Kurdistan Region (Kurdistan24) - Recently, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at the camp of Dibaga, near Makhmour front line, southwestern of Erbil Province, received humanitarian aid from Non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

The camp was built in the beginning of 2015 by the Emirates Red Crescent which cost USD$10 million and built approximately 1,000 units.

Most of the people who flee from the Islamic State (IS) in Mosul and arrive in Peshmerga front lines near Makhmour are sent to the Dibaga camp, after they pass Kurdish security check.

According to Peshmerga commanders, jihadists often send sleeper cells with people who escape from Mosul to the Kurdistan Region, aiming to conduct terrorist attacks in the Region, but they are confident that no sleeper cells will be able to enter the Kurdistan Region due to their security belt on the front lines.
