Iraq

The Iraqi population is still suffering from the consequences of the civil war today. From 2014 to 2017, the so-called Islamic State (IS) controlled large parts of the country and was fought by the Iraqi army and allies at the end of 2017. IS atrocities and bloody fighting resulted in countless deaths. Several years later, countless families still find themselves in dramatic living conditions. According to the Human Development Report 2021/2022, about 43 million people live in Iraq.
