SITUATION IN NUMBERS

Highlights

Cases of unaccompanied and separated children from Mosul City continue. UNICEF, child protection sub-cluster partners and the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MoLSA), have agreed procedures to address this critical issue. Since January, 2,624 separated children (1,150 girls) and 351 unaccompanied children (82 girls) accessed family tracing and reunification services.

Since the start of the Mosul offensive on 17 October 2016, UNICEF has delivered multi-sector emergency response packages (MSEP) to 1,223,376 individuals (207,920 families, around 672,857 children) in re-taken communities in northern Ninewa

In July, UNICEF reduced its water trucking to five East Mosul neighbourhoods as the rehabilitated public network provides water for most of the area. However supply is often irregular. Trucking continues to West Mosul for around 335,000 individuals. UNICEF and WASH cluster partners are seeking funding to be able to continue all WASH activities associated with Ninewa.

On 9 July 2017, the military offensive to retake Mosul City was declared completed. Operations lasted nine months, with more than one million people, more than half of them children, newly-displaced. Conflict-related displacement from Ba’aj and Tel Afar continues as military operations shift focus in the area.

Returns to retaken areas are increasing each month however, more than 3.2 million people remain displaced from their homes. (IOM, Displacement Tracking Matrix, 31 July 2017)

Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs

On 9 July 2017 Iraqi Prime Minister Abadi announced that government forces had regained control of Mosul. Nonetheless, pockets of intense fighting continued in parts of the Old City (West Mosul) against remaining so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) combatants, as well as reports of violence in other areas including in the town of Imam Gharbi, south of Mosul, which was overrun by ISIL in early July, displacing more than 1,800 individuals. Massive infrastructure damage caused by the fighting means many neighbourhoods in West Mosul, and particularly the Old City presents a challenge for those wishing to return. The threat of death or severe injury to civilians remains high due to significant presence of explosive remnants of war (ERW) both in Mosul and across Iraq, which is among the most contaminated countries in the world. Basic services have improved in East Mosul over recent months, although consistent delivery of municipal functions, such as water supply, remains unreliable. There have been increased cases of unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) as a consequence of Mosul displacements. UNICEF and child protection partners are responding, in close coordination with the authorities in Ninewa and Baghdad. Other key concerns include low levels of protection and social cohesion, with reports of extrajudicial killings and collective punishment of individuals suspected of affiliation with ISIL. Although more than two million people have returned to their places of origin (IOM DTM, 31 July 2017), fear of retribution is expressed by both displaced and returning communities, and is cited by families as a reason for delaying their return. Conflict-related displacement from Ba’aj and Telafar continues as military operations shift focus in the area. Humanitarian partners anticipate that coming months will bring further conflict in Hawiga (Kirkuk) and western Anbar, causing yet more new displacements. Funding to sustain humanitarian response remains a concern, as does the low coverage of partners and services in areas such as Anbar.

Humanitarian leadership and coordination

UNICEF leads the WASH Cluster, co-leads the Education cluster with Save the Children International, leads the Child Protection sub-cluster and Nutrition working group, and is an active member of the Health cluster. In June, the Child Protection sub-cluster shared a Sustainable Child Protection Programme Framework to guide resilience-focused actions in Iraq’s complex and protracted crisis situation. UNICEF, UNFPA, and WFP coordinate the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) Consortium serving IDPs on the move, and the Multi-Sector Emergency Package (MSEP), delivering aid items to newly-retaken areas of Mosul. For coordination in Ninewa, the ‘Humanitarian Operation Centre’ (HOC) is replaced by the OCHA Mosul Office, which is responsible for the humanitarian coordination function previously under the Civil Military Coordination (CIMCORD) office. UNICEF, UNHCR, the World Health Organisation (WHO) coordinates with relevant line Ministries for cholera preparedness and response.

Humanitarian Strategy

Strategic priorities under the 2017 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) are to: reach as many people in need as possible across Iraq by securing safe access to front-line and newly retaken areas; facilitate and advocate for voluntary, safe, and dignified returns; give options to families to live in Iraq in dignity by expanding resilience and social cohesion programmes; and help people affected by violence recover by providing specialized protection assistance. UNICEF supports system-building and resilience-strengthening interventions through partnership with government, non-government, and civil society partners.

Summary Analysis of Programme Response

Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) and Multisector Emergency Response Package (MSEP)1

In 2017, the RRM Consortium has reached 2,040,379 vulnerable people on the move, including 1,122,208 children. Compared to June, there was a decrease in numbers of people newly-displaced and, as a consequence, a decrease (50 per cent) in RRM deliveries, with the majority of people (79 percent) reached in Mosul, Ninewa. In Anbar RRM responded to two caseloads at Kilo-60, reaching around 600 individuals, and at Kilo-18, reaching 4,400 individuals. In total across all RRM distributions, 162,153 people were reached in July. While movement continues to Kilo-18, transportation from here to Ameriyat al Fallujah (AAF) and Habbaniyah Tourist City (HTC) is

1 RRM reaches internally displaced populations. MSEP reaches conflict-affected people who have remained in their homes and communities. With multiple movements, people may be reached by RRM more than once during displacement, including at mustering points; at a screening site with an initial package; and with the full package on arrivcal at a camp or in host communities. All efforts are made to reduce duplication between partners.

also continuing. Since 17 October 2016 UNICEF has supported delivery of multi-sector emergency response (MSEP) through NGO partners, which has reached 1,223,376 individuals (207,920 families, around 672,857 children) in re-taken communities in northern Ninewa. In July alone UNICEF delivered MSEP for 36,864 individuals (20,275 children). The package can be tailored to shifting needs on the ground but key items are water treatment tablets, high energy biscuits, hygiene items, and leaflets on preventing child separation during displacement, as well as other child protection information.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) In July, WASH partners conducted 34 assessments to identify particular WASH needs and gaps in various locations. Northern Ninewa, including Mosul city, remains a particular focus of need. In July, UNICEF reduced its water trucking to East Mosul as it is now mainly served through the rehabilitated public network, although services remain irregular for around five neighbourhoods due to a combination of low pressure in the network. Limited electricity supply restricts pumping time, alongside an overall rationing of water supply. Gubba water treatment plant, the biggest in the city, is only able to operate at around 70 per cent capacity currently. Delivery of water continues to West Mosul where UNICEF currently supports water supply for around 350,000 individuals. Currently in West Mosul, the only available water sources – the Tigris River, and household boreholes – are unfit for drinking, and the only safe water (chlorinated or otherwise treated) is that provided by humanitarian actors. In July, five additional boreholes were rehabilitated in the Bashiqa sub-district, north of Mosul, improving water supply for 900 people. This is in addition to the seven boreholes completed in May and June 2017. ‘Quick fixes’ of Bartella (capacity 1,000 m3 p/h) and Hamdaniyah (1,500 m3 p/h) boosting stations was completed benefitting 195,000 people living in Bartella, Bashiqa, Hamdaniyah and surrounding villages. Both systems collect water from Salamiyah water treatment plant, where additional chlorine is added to water before it is then pumped to serve target communities. To reach optimal capacity, longer term works are required to fully rehabilitate, operate and maintain the stations. In July, water quality monitoring was intensified, paired with delivery of water treatment materials where needed. In total, 11,849 water samples were tested for quality in the month, and delivery of key messages for good water storage and handwashing practice, among others, was scaled up. In Baghdad, UNICEF provided over 65 tons of water treatment materials2 to water projects meaning an estimated 1.7 million people will have improved access to safe water. In southern Iraq, UNICEF is supporting the Directorate of Water (DoW) in Thi-Qar, Muthanna and Qadissiya to provide drinking water to vulnerable communities through provision of water pumps, pipes, and items for Reverse Osmosis (RO) units, for which the DoW will undertake installation. UNICEF and partners continue to support solid waste management in IDP camps maintaining a clean environment for 241,213 IDPs (103,720 children) across the country. In July, as part of moves to improve sustainability, garbage collection in Arbat IDP camp, Sulaymaniyah, was handed over to the local Municipality. UNICEF and partners supported improved access to sanitation for 16,901 IDPs through construction of additional latrines and showers. As of July, UNICEF-supported WASH facilities in schools, Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) and health facilities are being used by an estimated 72,000 individuals. This month the rehabilitation of sanitation units was completed in 21 schools (12 in Salah al Din, seven in Anbar and two in Baghdad) which will benefit more than 26,900 students once the new academic year starts.

Education The delays to education response in West Mosul, as reported in June, have been partially mitigated in July by a waiver letter issued by the Ministry of Education (MoE) which has allowed nine Education partners to initiate response in this part of the city. Engineers from the Directorate of Education (DoE) Ninewa are undertaking damage assessments to identify needs. However, funding constraints for partners responding in Ninewa and in Kirkuk, were reported in July, with planned catch-up classes and non-formal education activities for around 12,000 children in at least 6 IDP camps affected. Although active conflict in Mosul decreased in July, partners anticipate ongoing needs not only in Ninewa but in Anbar and Kirkuk. Partner capacity mapping carried out in July indicates a potential gap in partners with the ability to respond in western Anbar, where more displacements are anticipated. Summer school activities supported by UNICEF and national partner Sorouh began in Salah al Din governorate in July, reaching 652 students (304 girls). Activities included catch-up classes for core subjects such as maths. Similar activities in Erbil focused on encouraging social cohesion, with 125 IDP children (31 girls), 487 Syrian refugee children (202 girls) and 335 host community children (115 girls) participating in Life Skills activities at the Basirma and Kawergosk schools, as well as a children’s marathon held in the Sami Abdulrahman Park in Erbil. A ‘Back to Learning’ campaign was initiated in Salah al Din, sharing information on the importance of education, encouraging parents to enrol children in schools in time for the start of the new academic year, and a total of 26 schools (out of a planned 40) were rehabilitated in the same governorate, increasing the space available for learning. Further governorate-level campaigns will take place in the weeks leading up to the formal start of school, scheduled for end-September. Capacity building sessions took place in Dahuk, with a training on the ‘School Based Management’ (SBM) approach reaching 165 education staff (99 teachers, 33 education support staff, and 33 Parent Teacher Association members; 21 females). SBM aims to devolve more decision-making authority to school bodies, while building their capacity in participatory and inclusive needs assessments, planning, and budgeting to improve educational environments for children.

Child Protection Increased cases of unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) due to displacement from Mosul continued. In July, 232 children (51 girls) were found to be unaccompanied, and 1,064 children (449 girls) as separated. Since January, 2,624 separated (1,150 girls)

and 351 (82 girls) unaccompanied children received family tracing and reunification services3. UNICEF, with child protection sub-cluster partners (CPSC) and the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MoLSA), have agreed procedures to address this critical issue. Lack of facilities and government temporary care was identified as a critical gap in Ninewa and UNICEF has supported MoLSA to improve conditions in Ninewa’s state care home so that unaccompanied children can be safely held while caregivers are found through legal process. UNICEF and partners will provide technical support and mentoring for the home’s social workers and staff, to improve child-focused procedures. All CPSC partners continue to liaise with armed forces and emergency services to identify children in need. In July, UNICEF partners reported providing psychosocial support services (PSS) to 29,986 newly-registered IDP children (14,365 girls), for 242,703 children (114,400 girls) reached since January 2017. Specialized child protection services reached 17,216 IDP children (7,774 girls) since January 2017. The Iraq Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism (MRM) verified two reports of grave violations against children in July, affecting eight children (all boys). Another violation affecting seven children was reported but not verified. Of verified reports, three children were killed and five were recruited and used by armed actors.4 All reports in July came from Ninewa. In July, the finalised National Child Protection Policy (NCCP) was launched in Baghdad. It aims to prevent and protect Iraqi children from violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect, and to provide services and support for children at risk and survivors.

Health and Nutrition UNICEF-supported services in seven governorates 5 have reached 6,506 children (3,318 girls) under 1 with routine measles vaccinations, of which 444 children (226 girls) were reached in July. Campaign vaccination services, run through Directorate of Health (DoH) rapid response teams responding to Mosul displacements, vaccinated 2,182 children (1,113 girls) under 15 years against measles, and 2,295 children against polio6 (1,170girls) at the Ninewa Hotel mustering point. Rapid response was scaled down from mid-July, reflecting the decrease in level of armed conflict and resulting displacements. Growth monitoring services continue across the country, with qualified health staff screening 252,649 children (128,808 girls) since January, of which 8,252 children (4,091 girls) were reached this month. For Mosul displacements, rapid response teams screened 1,528 children (779 girls) in the first two weeks of July, before services at the Ninewa Hotel mustering point were scaled down. A total of 91 cases of Moderate Acute Malnourishment (MAM) and 31 of Severe Acute Malnourishment (SAM) were identified, with children either treated on site or referred to more specialised care as needed. In the Qayyara-Jeda’ah cluster of camps, UNICEF-supported service providers followed up on 285 cases of malnourishment (222 MAM and 63 SAM). UNICEF’s ongoing support to maternal and child health has ensured newborn home care through home visits for 4,386 new-borns in 2017 (2,242 girls), of which 912 children (444 girls) were reached in July alone. A total of 24,625 pregnant women or new mothers have participated in Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) sessions this year. In July, sessions engaged 719 women in the Qayyara-Jeda’ah camp complex, forming nearly half of the 15,062 mothers reached countrywide in the month.

Cash Assistance In July, UNICEF initiated a first round of cash assistance in East Mosul, in coordination with UNHCR, reaching 298

vulnerable families (684 children). Each family received a child-focused grant of US $ 30 per month for July and August. This will continue for an initial period of six months, and supports families to meet their own needs with dignity. In Erbil UNICEF partner Triangle implemented a summer school initiative, due to run until end of August. Further cash assistance encouraging school enrolment and attendance will re-start once the new academic year has begun.

3 The number of separated and unaccompanied children has reduced after data cleaning in July. Current data shows that in 2017, partners have supported reunification of 350 unaccompanied and 946 separated children for a total of 1,296 children (506 girls) reunified; and that 31 unaccompanied and 404 separated children, for a total of 435 children (184 girls) remain in alternative care. Partners follow open cases in coordination with NGOs and authorities. 4 Due to the nature of information received under the Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism, reports and verifications may relate to incidents from past months. 5 Partners reported from Anbar, Dahuk, Erbil, Kirkuk, Ninewa, Salah al Din and Sulaymaniyah in July. 6 Campaign services, not reflected under the ‘routine’ indicators. Rapid response includes providing children with measles and polio vaccines on initial arrival in secure areas; then children are reintroduced to the national routine schedule on arrival in camps with fixed health units, or in stable host community locations.

Supply and Logistics UNICEF dispatched relief items for IDPs to government and non-governmental partners with a total value of

over US$13.8 million since the start of the year. WASH response items accounted for 44 per cent and emergency items such as RRM kit components accounted for 27 per cent of aggregated dispatched relief items. WASH hygiene kits sufficient to serve around 165,880 families were delivered to partners. The total amount of ordered supplies for the IDP response stands at US $14.1 million.

Media and External Communication In July, UNICEF Iraq spokespeople conducted over 60 media interviews, including with

BBC, Al Jazeera English, SKY News Arabia, PBS and ABC News, highlighting the plight of children affected by conflict in Mosul and the importance of education in emergencies. UNICEF produced 1 news note, and 1 video of the UNICEF representative in west Mosul, and 3 human interest stories and one Facebook live, all products focused on advocacy and raising awareness.

Security On 10 July 2017, Iraqi Prime Minister Al Abadi announced that Iraq Security Forces (ISF) had fully re-taken control of West Mosul City. However ISF operations, including airstrikes, continued after the statement, targeting remaining pockets of Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) combatants in the Old City. ISIL asymmetric attacks continued against security forces in Salah Al Din, Diyala and Anbar. Terrorism trends persisted in Baghdad with further improvised explosive device (IED) attacks causing civilian casualties. Crime and civil unrest were also evident across Iraq, though these have not directly impacted overall threat levels. Demonstrated ISIL capability means attacks remain likely in Mosul City and in Ninewa in general, as well as in Anbar and Salah Al Din in coming months. However in July, UNICEF and partners continued programming across the country without undue impact.
