Of the 266 families, 159 reside outside camps and 107 families currently live inside camps located around 30 kilometers east of Mosul near the Erbil-Mosul road.

The Iraqi government wants to close all the camps across the country and see all displaced families return to their homes. In January, Baghdad set July 30 as the date for the Kurdistan Region to close IDP camps and aid provision to cease, though that deadline has been indefinitely extended. An Erbil-Baghdad joint committee was formed to discuss their closure. The KRG has said it would not force people to return home.
Around 26,500 families (157,000 individuals) remain in the Kurdistan Region’s IDP camps, according to official figures.
