ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – On World Humanitarian Day, we recognize with appreciation and gratitude the efforts and contributions made by humanitarian workers in Iraq who have supported millions of Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in recent years, read a statement on Thursday by the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq Irena Vojackova-Sollorano on World Humanitarian Day.

“With humanitarian needs decreasing, humanitarian partners in Iraq are working jointly with the government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to ensure a smooth transition from humanitarian assistance toward durable solutions efforts within the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperations Framework (UNSDCF) to which the government of Iraq and the UN Country Team are committed to,” read the statement.
