According to UNHCR statistics published in January 2015, there were about 3.1 million internally displaced people. With the increased fighting, this figure may well have doubled.
Add to this, an increasing number of disadvantaged families and individuals who are living in conditions of extreme poverty with no money to buy basic food and clothing.
Families of six or more are living in a single room in the home of other extended family members. People cannot sustain themselves, and as winter advances the need for warmth and protection from the elements increase.
This year, the Najaf Citizens Advice and Care Centre is launching a campaign to keep the many thousands of underprivileged orphans warm during the cold weather conditions.
We urge you to help bring the glow of warmth in an orphan’s eyes by donating £20 (IQD34000) to buy one blanket.
