|
| About 2.77 million Iraqis are displaced within the country, and about 1 million of those are in need of food and shelter, according to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. This camp is outside Sulaymaniyah in northern Iraq, where people have constructed homes out of cardboard, blankets and sheets propped up with salvage timber. |
