Iraq: Impartial and rapid aid delivery to the displaced from Ramadi

As insecurity maims the great majority of Al-Anbar, many families attempt to leave the governorate for the safety of Baghdad through the Bzbiz bridge – a tightly controlled entry point to the capital.

 

Crossing through the checkpoint and over the bridge has been strictly managed by Iraqi Security Forces in April and May 2015. Only families with sponsors in Baghdad governorate and medical emergencies have been periodically allowed to cross. The humanitarian community has expressed their grave concern about the well-being of displaced people caught up in the fighting.
