Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) is a non-governmental, non-profit, non-political and non-religious international aid organization. Our teams are committed to supporting civilian victims of marginalization and exclusion, or those hit by natural disasters, wars and economic collapse by answering their fundamental needs. Our aim is to provide emergency relief to uprooted people in order to help them recover their dignity and regain self-sufficiency. The association leads on average 200 projects a year in the following sectors of intervention: Food Security, Health, Nutrition, Construction and Rehabilitation of infrastructures, Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Economic Recovery. PUI is providing assistance to around 7 million people in 21 countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and France.

Humanitarian situation and needs:

Iraq has suffered nearly 37 years of conflict and unrest starting with the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s which lasted for 8 years and resulted in around a million people being killed as well as dealing a significant blow to the Iraqi economy. This was closely followed by the annexing of Kuwait and subsequent First Gulf War in 90s which saw heavy causalities and destruction of the Iraqi infrastructure. The 2003 invasion of Iraq by the US led coalition saw even more upheaval and conflict for this population. After a short period of relative stability between 2009 and 2012, the rise of Islamic State (IS) in 2014 and its seizure of, at one point, an estimated 40% of Iraq including Fallujah, Tikrit and Mosul, Iraq saw mass population displacement and the exposure of the people of Iraq to multiple and cumulative acts of violence. The military operation to retake areas under IS control has been officially completed end of 2017 however some pockets of IS fighters remain active.

Since the Iraqi Constitution was adopted in 2005 Iraq has been divided into federal regions that handle their own domestic affairs, reporting to Baghdad central government, who is also responsible for international affairs. Additionally, in the North, there is the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan (KRI) which includes the provinces of Erbil; Dohuk, Sulaymaniyah and Halabja. There are ongoing tensions between KRI government and the Central Iraqi Government over issues such as autonomy, disputed territories, budget, resources exploitation or border control. A recent referendum on 25th September escalated these tensions and the situation is constantly evolving.

Humanitarian consequences:

Iraq as a whole has been facing one of the most critical humanitarian crisis of the moment. The conflict has displaced nearly 3.4 million people across Iraq since early 2014 and left more than 11 million people requiring humanitarian assistance. There also remains approximately 225,000 Syrian refugees in Iraq whom have been displaced since 2013. These displaced populations are highly vulnerable and have been exposed to multiple, cumulative acts of violence, so much so that the United nations have declared this a Protection Crisis.

Our actions in the field:

PUI has been present in Iraq since 1983. The programming has spanned the sectors of health, WASH, protection, shelter, food security and livelihoods, through an integrated approach, in both urban and rural areas, responding to the changing needs of the local communities.

By 2010 PUI was implementing an integrated multi-sectorial program targeting poor rural villages in Baghdad to help them regain livelihoods and restart agricultural production. Besides training and supplies, this programme emphasizes reconciliation, solidarity and cooperation among villagers. Starting in 2014, PUI has been meeting needs of the displaced population by supporting livelihood projects and promoting access to the job market through Professional Tool Kits and associated trainings.

As the war in Syria increased in severity the influx of refugees crossing into the Kurdistan Region of Iraq increased. PUI opened a Mission in KRI in 2013 to start to respond to these needs. PUI has been operating in Gawilan camp since November 2013, providing a basic package of health care services complimented by a WaSH response of active hygiene and sanitation watch out. Based on this successful first experience, PUI was chosen as a key partner by local government and UN to replicate its integrated strategy in additional camps, first in Domiz 2 and, after the IDP crisis, in Bajet Kandala and Bardarash camps.

PUI took a multi-faceted approach to supporting the needs of this newly displaced population focusing on Dohuk, Ninewa and Najaf Governorates, supporting nearly 100,000 IDPs. Firstly, working in newly set up camps in KRI, then providing additional health care outside of camps through MHT in the north and a Mobile Surveillance team in the south. Latrines were built both these areas to support IDPs living in unfinished buildings & informal settlements. NFIs distributed in multiple locations reaching people within the first few weeks of displacement.

Current Programming:

Static PHCCs in IDP Camps
• We are currently the main health actor in two IDP camps, Bajet Kandala and Salamiyah 2.
Health Facilities Rehabilitation
