Displacement Overview Between 4 and 14 November, conflict in the sub-districts of Bashiqah, Hamdaniya and in Eastern Mosul city displaced between 1,931 to 2,000 families to Hasansham UNHCR 3 Camp (Hasansham U3 Camp) in Hamdaniya district.1 During this time IDPs have arrived to Hasansham U3 Camp in three district groups: from Jilu Khan Village, Gugjali Village, and the Eastern neighbourhoods of Mosul. The majority of these arrivals, over 1400 families,2 are reportedly from Mosul city. As of 14 November, all displacement to Hasansham U3 Camp had reportedly stopped as the camp was at full capacity. Group 1: Among the first arrivals to Hasansham U3 Camp were approximately 150 families from Jilu Khan Village who arrived on 4 November. Their displacement was triggered by attempts made by Armed Groups (AG) to transfer people from Jilu Khan Village to AG-held areas. IDPs left in a rush on 4 November, and drove as a large group of families to the neighbouring Ali Rush village where they were provided with water and biscuits from the Iraqi forces who accompanied them to Shaquli checkpoint. At Shaquli checkpoint, Kurdish forces accompanied everyone, still driving in their own cars, to Hasansham U3 Camp on the same day. A small number of IDPs (roughly 5 families) were delayed at Ali Rash for 4 days - as they had walked with their livestock from Jilu Khan Village - waiting for permission to continue. Once granted permission they travelled to Gugjali village, where they sold their livestock and then were transported by the Iraqi forces to Hasansham U3 Camp. Group 2: Between 4 and 6 November, a large group of IDPs arrived to Hasansham U3 Camp from Gugjali Village.3 According to IOM, more than 580 families4 arrived to the camp during this time. People reportedly left Gugjali Village for fear of airstrikes in nearby areas. IDPs drove or were transported by truck or bus straight to Hasansham U3 Camp by the

Iraqi and Kurdish forces. Small numbers of IDPs reportedly continued to arrive to the camp between 6 and 14 November from Gugjali Village. Group 3: The third and largest group of IDP arrivals in Hasansham U3 Camp originated from Hay al Samah and nearby neighbourhoods in Eastern Mosul, constituting over 1,400 families.5 A continuous flow of IDPs from these areas arrived to the camp between 4 to 14 November, as the camp reached full capacity.6 Active conflict and the risk of indirect/direct fire were the primary triggers for displacement from neighbourhoods in Eastern Mosul. IDPs from neighbourhoods close to Hay al Samah – Al Zahra, Neighbourhood 90 and to a lesser extent Hay Al Khazra, Karkukli and Audn – predominantly walked from their neighbourhoods to Hay al Samah and then on to Gugjali village.7 Once in Gugjali, IDPs received water and some food from Iraqi forces, before being driven to Hasansham U3 Camp. According to KIs many people remain in their neighbourhoods of origin, but could not give estimate figures on the remaining population as the situation is evolving quickly. Men and older teenage boys were screened separately from women and children on arrival to Hasansham U3 Camp. Most IDPs, especially those from Eastern neighbourhoods and Jilu Khan Village, reported similar challenges en route, in particular the risk of direct and indirect fire, airstrikes, and getting caught by AGs. 1931 families according to Camp Management; 2000 families according to IOM (14 November) IOM, DTM Emergency Tracking, 14 November For more information on displacement from Gugjali see: REACH Rapid Displacement Overview: Khazer MODM 1 Camp, 7 November 2016 4 IOM, DTM Emergency Tracking, 7 November 2016 5 IOM, DTM Emergency Tracking, 14 November 2016 6 Based on key informant interview with camp management 7 Very few to no people reportedly drove to Gugjali Village due to the risk of airstrikes. 1 2 3

Group 3: Between 4-14 November, around 1,400 families from Eastern Mosul City arrived to Hasansham U3 Camp. Most IDPs walked from neighbourhoods in East Mosul towards the Hay al Samah Neighbourhood in Mosul, from where they walked to Gugjali Village on foot. The journey took between 30 minutes to 5 hours, depending on the neighbourhood. All IDPs were transported by bus or truck from Gugjali, through Shaquli Checkpoint to Hasansham U3 Camp* by the Iraqi then Kurdish forces.

Current Vulnerabilities and Needs of IDPs (in Hasansham UNHCR 3 Camp): IDPs across the camp are reportedly in need of warmer blankets and winterization clothes for infants, functioning showers, increased healthcare access, and larger quantities of hot food distributions.

need for more medical supplies, especially antibiotics and medication for chronic diseases (especially blood pressure and diabetes).9 One female doctor was reportedly available to provide pregnancy and post-natal care. At least two ambulances were reported to be on site for referrals to Erbil.10

Despite widespread distributions of mattresses and blankets, IDPs reported that blankets did not provide sufficient heat during the night and that there was a need for winterisation clothes for children under four years old – especially infants. According to KIs,8 toilets are very dirty, showers have no running water and there are no available toilets for persons with physical disabilities. Camp management highlighted a lack of hot water in the camp as a key concern as temperatures continue to drop. There is no electricity throughout the camp, with IDPs reporting a lack of lighting in the toilets, raising protection concerns especially for children and women at night. IDPs reported that they had access to two health clinics in the camp, reportedly providing primary healthcare between 8am and 5pm. However, both IDP, medical staff and camp management reported overcrowded clinics. Camp management indicated that as of 14 November, two additional clinics were under construction in the camp. Medical staff, camp management and IDPs all reported a Table 1: Sectoral minimum standards in Hasansham UNHCR 3 Camp:

There is widespread distributions of dried food items and the majority have stoves to cook on. However, IDPs reported that hot food distributions were insufficient for the total camp population. IDPs also highlighted the need for regular gas distributions as, due to the cold weather, families quickly deplete available gas through their use of heaters and stoves.12 Table 1 below highlights key findings from the CCCM RASP collected by REACH. The majority of IDPs were able to bring cash with them ranging between 100,000-500,000 IQD ($86-$431) per family. The vast majority of IDPs left with identification papers, but most have yet to have their papers returned to them following screening at the entrance of the camp. IDPs, camp management and NGO staff Medical staff also reported a need for more bandages and surgical scissors. Confirmed by direct observation 11 Those with sufficient funds reported buying gas over the fence for 1,000 IQD per litre. 8 9

Assistance En route, the majority of IDPs reported receiving water and some food from the Iraqi forces in the Gugjali or Ali Rash villages, and to a lesser extent from the Kurdish forces at Shaquli Checkpoint. Upon arrival at Hasansham U3 Camp, the vast majority of IDPs reportedly received assistance including RRM, dry food distributions, NFIs, winterization items (heaters, blankets and mattresses), hygiene kits and cooking utensils. Before 10 November, IDPs reported a prior shortage in available tents and related assistance, in particular after the influx of new arrivals between 7-9 November, which quickly

exceeded the amount of available tents. This was confirmed by, camp management who estimated on 10 November that 1,855 families were being housed in 1,627 available tents. The same 150-200 families who had yet to receive a tent by 10 November also reported certain barriers to accessing assistance.12 However since, 200 new tents have been erected and, as of 14 November, camp management reported that every family had access to their own tent. 12 IDPs in Khazer MODM 1 Camp, reported a similar situation regarding barriers to assistance. For more information see: REACH Rapid Displacement Overview: Khazer MODM 1 Camp, 7 November 2016

Intentions The vast majority of IDPs in Hasansham U3 Camp wish to return to their areas of origin once it is safe. In the meantime, most IDPs wish to travel elsewhere - primarily to Dohuk or Erbil. Despite many IDPs having sponsors, a prerequisite to move within the KRI, many think they will not be able to leave the camp in the near future due to restrictions on IDPs leaving the camp.

Even though the vast majority intend to return once it is safe to do so, IDPs from neighbourhoods in Eastern Mosul, also reported that some people (around 10% of the IDPs) may not wish to return as their houses have been destroyed, or due to the experiences some families have endured over the past few years in Mosul.
