DSRSG/HC Ruedas visit to Ninewa Governorate
Mosul, 20 August 2019 - The United Nations Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary General and Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq, Ms. Marta Ruedas, visited today Ninewa Governorate and met with government officials and displaced families.
Ms. Ruedas spoke with families who are living in tents near their destroyed homes in Hasansham U3, a camp near Mosul for almost 6,000 people displaced during the war against Daesh (ISIL).
The Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq met with representatives of international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and UN agencies in Bartella to discuss barriers to displaced families returning to their areas of origin as a result of the war against Daesh (ISIL) and ongoing threats and intimidation.
She also saw the new UN office in Mosul and discussed challenges facing NGOs and UN agencies managing camps for internally displaced persons.
While in Mosul, she met with the Governor of Ninewa, Mansoor Marid, and visited homes being reconstructed in Mosul with the assistance of UN-Habitat. Since 2017, UN-Habitat has rehabilitated more than 1,100 damaged houses in Zanjilli, one of the poorest neighborhoods in Mosul. In addition to the Zanjilli project, UN-Habitat is rehabilitating schools and infrastructure while leading an effort with UNESCO to implement a plan for reconstructing Mosul’s Old City, which is rich in historical and cultural significance.
