2Vulnerable shelter types include camps, transit camps, public/abandoned buildings, abandoned buildings, and schools.3Figures for number of individual IDPs have been calculated by multiplying the number of families by 6, the average size of an Iraqi family.

4 As a single location may host groups of IDPs from di�erent waves of displacement, this �gure represents the number of distinct locations in the governorate hosting new IDP populations for 2014, regardless of date of displacement.

OVERVIEWDiyala, located northeast of Baghdad on the Iranian border, has hosted a large IDP and returnee population since 2006. Diyala has recently experienced a severe deterioration of its security situation as well as ongoing issues related to the disputed nature of three of its districts between the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). During the first months of 2014, some families displaced within the governorate due to armed conflict in some districts, especially in Muqdadiyah and Al-Khalis. Then, the severe worsening of the security situation and local economy throughout the summer has pushed large numbers of families to displace looking for safer areas. Many families displaced due to generalized violence and direct threats. Throughout the summer, the displaced population increased dramatically; all IDPs within the governorate displaced internally since June. Further, Diyala became the governorate of origin for more than 3,100 families who displaced to other governorates, namely Baghdad, Sulaymaniyah, and Erbil.

Security conditions in Diyala are deteriorating with armed conflict occurring regularly in a number of districts. Attacks on public spaces such as markets and internet cafes have become more common; security headquarters and offices have also been targeted. Road closures and checkpoints impede the daily movement of people and goods. The increased number of causalities, the forced displacement of village populations, and the burning of buildings and mosques by militias has led to heightened tensions and more displacement. August saw a further deterioration of the security situation as there were numerous instances of kidnapping, assassinations in Ba’quba district, and armed groups have taken control of multiple areas in Al-Khalis district. On the road linking between Khanaqin and Al-Muqdadiya districts, a mosque was targeted killing more than 70 people further perpetrating violence and spreading fear in the population.

Due to the worsening situation in the governorate, Diyala was the governorate of origin for more than 12,600 families in Iraq, since the beginning of the year. While three quarters of those families remained in Diyala, Baghdad received almost a 1,000 families and Sulaymaniyah received over 1,500 families. All 120 families displaced in Diyala prior to June originated from Anbar. However, all displacement that took place after the start of June originated within Diyala, further highlighting the degree to which the security situation has worsened in the governorate. The pre-June displacement from Anbar was mainly toward the districts of Al- Khalis and Ba’quba and the families were Arab Muslim Sunni. The months of June and July saw the displacement of close to 6,000 families exclusively towards Khanaqin and Kifri districts, which are largely under the control of the KRG. The number of IDP decreased slightly in August with close to 3,500 families mainly moving towards Khanaqin with small numbers across other districts.

The vast majority of IDPs are Arab Muslim Sunnis from Diyala and Anbar. However, a number of Arab Muslim Shia and Kurd families were also displaced within Diyala since June. Field reports indicate that Al-Muqdadiyah and Ba’aquba along with a number of subdistricts in central Diyala, which has seen the brunt of the fighting, are the areas from which IDPs are displacing. Khanaqin district received the highest number of IDPs surmounting to over 60% of all displacement in the governorate. Kifri district received about 1 in every 4 families whereas the district of Baladrooz, Al-Khalis and Ba’quba received small numbers of families. At the time of data collection for this report, conflict-ridden Al-Muqdadiya district hosted only 24 IDP families, though this number has reportedly increased since.

The four most common types of shelter in Diyala are rented houses (26%), staying with relatives (20%), abandoned/public building or buildings that are under construction (17%), and camps and transit camps (16%). More than 1,500 IDP families are currently staying in camps or transit camps in 3 locations in Khanaqin district. Iden camp is the largest camp, with more than 1,200 tents constructed. There are also two other camps established in Khanaqin with smaller numbers of families. One of these camps, the Kurdistan camp located just outside Khanaqin city, has been subject to armed conflict. It has also been noted that families in camps are particularly susceptible to food and water insecurity.

All 120 families that were displaced to Diyala from Anbar prior to June are currently staying with host families of relatives and non-relatives in Al-Khalis and Ba’quba districts.

More than 500 families are currently seeking shelter in school buildings across 16 locations in Khanaqin district and one location in Kifri district. With the school year set to begin in September, these families will be exposed to further vulnerabilities as they will most likely have to seek shelter somewhere else.In Khanaqin district, which hosts the highest number of IDPs, one in every four families is currently seeking shelter in abandoned/public buildings or buildings under construction in very vulnerable situation in more than 25 locations within the district where they have reported not having adequate access to food, water, and sanitation facilities.

IDPs in Diyala are struggling to meet basic daily needs; 88% reportedly did not have sufficient access to food, 40% reported not having adequate access to water, and almost a quarter reported they did not have access to functioning health facilities. Nearly all expressed need for core relief items (CRIs). Of special concern is the 3,745 families who are living in vulnerable shelter types. In light of this limited access to services, it is not surprising that the most common priority needs were food, NFIs, and water respectively. All families who reported water as a need were in Khanaqin district.
