UN Launches Appeal for USD 100 million to Assist those Affected by Fighting in Anbar, Iraq
Baghdad, 05 March 2014 - The United Nations Iraq and the Iraqi Ministry of Migration and Displacement today launched an appeal to address the immediate humanitarian needs of the hundreds of thousands of people affected by the ongoing fighting in Anbar Province. The Strategic Response Plan will benefit up to 240,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) as well as those within host communities, and those stranded in conflict affected areas in Anbar province. The plan calls for USD 103.7 million to cover the provision of assistance in Non Food Items/Shelter, Protection, Health, Food, Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Education, and Logistics.
"Since the beginning of the year the UN Humanitarian Agencies have been working in Anbar Province and across Iraq to address the humanitarian needs of those affected by the fighting. UN and NGO resources however are diminishing rapidly as the crisis enters its third month. The Strategic Response Plan, if well resourced, will enable the UN and our partner agencies to continue supporting the humanitarian efforts of the local and national authorities”, said the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq (SRSG), Mr. Nickolay Mladenov in his introductory remarks.
Mr. Mladenov spoke of the risks that the situation in Anbar presents for the rest of the country but also of the need for Iraqis to unite against the threat of terrorism. "Those fleeing the fighting have been welcomed in a true spirit of solidarity across the country -- in Karbala, Salah al Din, Erbil, Baghdad and elsewhere. The UN stands ready, once security has been restored, to work with the local authorities in reconstruction and rebuilding of livelihoods in Anbar as well as in addressing issues of political, social and economic inclusion" he said.

الأمم المتحدة تطلق نداء لجمع 100 مليون دولار لمساعدة المتضررين من جراء القتال في محافظة الأنبار
بغداد 5 آذار 2014 : أطلقت الأمم المتحدة في العراق ووزارة الهجرة والمهجرين العراقية اليوم نداءً لتلبية الاحتياجات الفورية الإنسانية لمئات الآلاف من الأشخاص المتضررين جراء القتال الدائر في محافظة الأنبار. وستعمل خطة الاستجابة الاستراتيجية إعانة أكثر من 240,000 فرداً من النازحين وكذلك أولئك الذين يعيشون داخل المجتمعات المضيفة والذين تقطعت بهم السبل في مناطق الصراع في محافظة الأنبار. وتدعو الخطة الى جمع مبلغ قدره 103,7 مليون دولار أمريكي لتغطية نفقات توفير المساعدات المتمثلة بالمواد غير الغذائية والمأوى والحماية والصحة والغذاء ومستلزمات الصرف الصحي والنظافة العامة والخدمات اللوجيستية.
وتحدث المُمثل الخاص للأمين العام للأمم المتحدة في العراق السيد نيكولاي ملادينوف في ملاحظاته الافتتاحية قائلاً "منذ مطلع هذا العام شرعت الوكالات الإنسانية التابعة للأمم المتحدة بالعمل في محافظة الأنبار وعموم العراق لتلبية الإحتياجات الإنسانية للمتضررين من القتال. وبدخول الأزمة شهرها الثالث، أخذت موارد الأمم المتحدة والمنظمات غير الحكومية بالنفاد بسرعة. ان خطة الاستجابة الاستراتيجية إذا ما مولت تمويلاً كافياً، فأنها ستمكن الأمم المتحدة ووكالاتنا الشريكة من الإستمرار في دعم الجهود الإنسانية التي تبذلها السلطتان المحلية والوطنية".
وتحدث السيد ملادينوف عن المخاطر التي يفرزها الوضع في الأنبار على بقية أنحاء البلاد، كما وأشار أيضاً عن حاجة العراقيين للتوحد بوجه تهديدات الإرهاب. "ان أولئك الذين فروا من القتال قد أستقبلوا بروح التضامن الحقيقية في مختلف أنحاء البلاد – في كربلاء وصلاح الدين وأربيل وبغداد وفي أماكن أخرى. وأن الأمم المتحدة تقف على أهبة الإستعداد، حالما يستتب الأمن، للعمل مع السلطات المحلية لإعادة إعمار وبناء سبل العيش في الأنبار اضافة الى معالجة قضايا المشاركة السياسية والإجتماعية والإقتصادية".
