An increasing number of displaced Iraqis continue to arrive in Iraq’s Kurdistan region in the wake of military operations to retake Mosul from Daesh terrorists. To address the influx, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has set up a new camp in Debaga. However, as our correspondent Ali Musawi reports a lot more has to be done to accommodate the arriving IDPs.
