After nine years of unsuccessful IVF treatment, Yasmeen discovered she was pregnant a month before the war broke out in #Gaza. The terror of giving birth in a war zone was multiplied even further when she found out she was expecting triplets. The babies came two months early, and one of them was born with a pulmonary hemorrhage. They needed an incubator, but none were available. Yasmeen is now staying in a tent near a hospital, where she battles squalid living conditions, pollution and insects while taking care of her triplets. Yasmeen and her husband recently sent us this message: “CARE's team visited us today and offered us a baby package for each of our babies. The packages arrived at the right time, we really needed summer clothes and shampoo for the babies.”

How does #climate #change affect those who have already lost so much? In our latest study, we explore how climate change is impacting families remaining #displaced since the peak of the conflict in #Iraq. We also look into the ability of host communities to sustain hosting displaced populations, considering the stress caused by the changing climate. This is more than just a local issue affecting the studied community of Sumel; it's a snapshot of a wider crisis affecting countless displaced families across the country. 🌍 Some Key Takeaways: Conflict and Climate: While the war forced many to flee, now climate change is an added barrier hindering their return to homeland. Changing Weather: Rising temperatures and water scarcity over the past years have hurt farming and water supplies in host communities. It also depleted the homeland livelihood recovery potential of displaced families. Everyday Struggles: Nearly 20% of internally displaced persons (IDPs) who decided to stay in displacements mentioned climate issues as a reason. Many fear for their income and access to drinking water if they go back. Environmental Impact: Overuse of fertilizers and pollution have worsened the environmental conditions, adding more pressure on host communities' ability to support its people. These findings remind us that we need to look beyond immediate crises and consider the long-term impacts of climate change on displaced populations. Comprehensive action is essential to support IDPs and host communities throughout Iraq.
