Nearly half of surveyed IDPs displaced due to direct threats to their life or being physically forced to leave their property; less than one-third due to generalised violence (IDP Working Group).
70% of IDPs highlighted their need for food and adequate shelter, 20% for improved access to water and legal aid (IDP Working Group).
Displaced Iraqis tend to seek refuge with family and friends; many IDPs have moved into schools, clinics and other buildings, or makeshift camps on public lands or in the desert (UNAMI).
Movement of IDPs is constrained: 9 governorates are restricting entry (require sponsorship, proof of endangerment, etc.), while 8 are imposing measures which limit registration (IDP Working Group).
