Iraq takes measures to provide AID for displaced Syrians

 The Iraqi government is taking measures to provide accommodation, food

and security for a surging number of displaced Syrians in that country.

Iraq has received 210,000 Syrian refugees so far, a sudden increase from 160,000 just over a month ago. The huge flow of Syrians into Iraq began on August 15 when the Kurdish region started to open its border to Syrians.

Kawergosk, the largest refugee camp in Erbil Province, was built after the flow of Syrians, which accommodates 15,000 Syrian refugees currently.

According to local officials, the number of refugees entering Iraq will continue to rise in the coming months.
