Foreword: Syrian Refugee Response/Iraq Information Kit No. 11: First Quarterly Report/2015 The Syrian conflict has entered into its fifth year with no rapid end in sight. It has torn apart families of more than 10 million persons: 7 million persons inside the country and 3.9 million sought safety in the neighboring countries. Only 5.5% (222,000 persons) have sought asylum in the European countries. In his speech to the donors in March 2015, António Guterres, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, raised a crucial point about the situation of the host communities. Beyond the donors’ fatigue, he mentioned the host community fatigue. “It is hard to imagine the economic, social and demographic impact on the economies and societies in Lebanon and Jordan, in Northern Iraq, Turkey and Egypt”. While Iraq is hosting about 247,000 Syrians, it was hit by new conflicts in June 2014 displacing about 2.5 million persons inside the country. The Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KR-I), hosting the majority of the Syrian Refugees (97%), is also hosting about 820,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs). In a major demographic change, about 1.17 million refugees and IDPs represent about 20% of the population in the KR-I, which shares about 1,000 km of front lines with areas of continuing armed conflict. To relieve the sufferings and to provide life saving support to these populations, more than 80 partners including Government institutions, UN agencies, international and national NGOs, collaborate with each other. Till end 2014, the assistance for Syrian Refugees was guided by the Refugee Response Plan (RRP6), which prioritized life-saving and/or prevention of immediate risk of harm; and preventing conditions leading to the deterioration of vulnerabilities. Since 2015, the new Refugee Response and Resilience Plan (3RP) for 2015-16, also incorporates a Resilience component, the objective of which is to reduce the dependence on aid by planning long-term responses such as building coping capacities where increased attention would be paid to self-sustainability not only to the refugees, but also to host communities impacted, – in light of the host community fatigue. Also, Strategic Response Plan (SRP) is rolled-out for the response on IDPs crises. These plans are implemented through two coordination working groups: the Inter-Sectoral Working Group for Syrian refugees led by UNHCR and the Inter-Cluster Working Group led by OCHA. The Sector/Cluster systems include sectors: Protection, Food Security, Education, Shelter, Basic Needs, Health, WASH, Livelihoods, Camp Coordination and Camp Management. This Information Kit (iKit No. 11), first quarterly report of 2015, expanding and updating previous editions, is designed to provide an overview of the inter-agency interventions for Syrian refugee operation. It contains operational information such as Refugee Facts and Figures, maps of the geographical distribution of the refugees, a chapter on ways forward on resilience, dashboards of 8 sectors on implementation status, Who is doing What, Where (3Ws) and camp profiles for the for the 10 Syrian refugees camps. With thanks to all those contributing to the operation and also those behind provided information on their activities, we hope that this information package supports the decision-makers to make prompt, evidence-based and more predictable decisions hopefully contributing to a more effective response to those suffering as a result of the crisis.

March Highlights: Syrian refugees from Kobane and other areas continue to arrive the Peshkhabour border (4,465 individuals). As from 2 March 2015 onwards the Ibrahim Khalil border has been closed to new arrivals from Syria. Refugees report that many of them were displaced in Syria prior to the plight, and female headed household face severe challenges moving through ISIL held territory. Refugees returning to Syria (1,458 individuals) claim family reunification, access to medical care, attending family events, and the high cost of living in the KR-I as their main reason for departure. Biometric registration and verification is progressing, and it is anticipated that the exercise will be completed in the KR-I towards the end of June. The residency department in Sulaymaniyah has agreed to extend the residency for a period of 12 months thereby aligning the practice with Erbil and Duhok. The residency department will also participate in the ongoing verification and biometric registration exercise in urban areas, thereby increasing and speeding up the pace of residencies for out of camp refugees. The provision and quality of legal aid has been focus of attention in March, and engaged the support for the issuance of marriage and birth certificates as well as legal interventions to halt deportations. Nonetheless, some 8 refugees were deported from Akre in February 2015, and in one case a deportation decision was halted. Child protection partners have conducted community based and individualized activities to understand reasons for school drop outs in refugee camps and urban areas. It appears that physical and psychological violence features prominently in addition to children going to “gaming” shops and other expressions of negative coping mechanisms.

Duhok and Sulaymaniyah have added livelihood to SGBV services; it is expected that this will have a major positive impact on the ability of survivors to recover and reduce protection risks. An increasing number of men and boys access SGBV services following sustained awareness raising and the provision of enhanced, and non-discriminatory access to the services. International Women’s Day activities were implemented in all camps and urban locations; themes were related to access to rights, gender equality, participation of women in leadership, and prevention and reduction of early marriage. In Erbil, elections for the first urban community based protection committee were successfully held, and the refugees, displaced and affected host community elected 15 members of whom 7 are women. Protection activities in Al-Qaim refugee camp remain suspended. It has been reported that many refugees have returned to Syria, but it is estimated that some 3,700 refugees are in Al-Qaim, of which 980 individuals are in the camp. It has been reported that movement outside of ISIL controlled territory is forbidden, whereas refugees can move within certain hours within ISIL controlled territory. Education is ongoing, but the curriculum has been changed at ISIL’s instruction and thus topics as geography, history and nationality have been abolished.

Protection
Needs Analysis: The revision of the verification and biometric registration work plan, including the preparations for outreach through mobile verification units, is expected to accelerate and complete the process by the end of June 2015. The impact of the changes in the methodology is carefully monitored. Mobile registration in urban areas will start in April 2015. Access to safety and access Gawilan Refugee Camp, Duhok KR-‐Iraq. UNHCR/ R. Rasheed to asylum will be monitored due to the Ibrahim Khalil border closure, and the intermittent access through Peshkhabour. Moreover, new arrivals from so-called non-conflict zones in Syria receive 15 days entry visas and may thus face restrictions to access asylum. Gawilan Refugee Camp, Duhok KR-‐Iraq. UNHCR/ R. Rasheed
The reasons for school drop outs, or lack of enrollment, will be further analyzed as well as the impact of the discontinuation of psycho-social services for children in Gawilan refugee camp due to a lack of funds. The situation in Al-Qaim refugee camp is of great concern, a further analysis of the situation and exploration of opportunities to provide protection services to refugees is being examined.
