Refugees By: Hannah Kerman

Iraqis are leaving cities like Falluja and Ramadi because of violence and the low amount of supplies. More than 65,000 people fled from those areas mainly because of violence. Most of the refugees leave to Baghdad, Diyala, and Ninewa provinces because they're safer. Most of the refugees are staying with relatives, or families, but the families are having a hard time taking care of them due to shortness of supply. Also, the refugees that reside in churches and hospitals are facing the same problem of loosing resources.

This sounds like terrible conditions to be living in especially since they're being pushed away from their homes. Hopefully, our troops are doing something, but luckily a lot of our troops are coming home, and maybe one day Iraq can solve its problems peacefully. The conditions could get really worse and we may have to send troops back in, but hopefully that won't be the case.

  1. Wow... somehow, someone needs to end this conflict once and for all by whatever means necessary, because this small fighting isn't going to get this fight to stop.

  2. I think that when the violence becomes so bad that people need to flee the country, the country needs to think what it's doin

  3. I agree with Anna, and also with you. It really sucks that they're getting forced out of their own homes and I hope the conditions there become better over time.
