Azad Murad: Clinic and Iraq

azad murad: The facility is just one of several projects Canada is supporting in Iraq as part of its efforts to help those affected by the war against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant help those on the front lines say is desperately needed, according to CBC. It's very important for the people here that they have this clinic and they can get services here, Azad Murad, a nurse with the International Organization for Migration IOM said through a translator. The future of the clinic in Erbil, Iraq is as unclear as that of its clientele. Iraqi refugees fared worse than others Kurds oppose mass migration of Yazidis And it's really good that the Canadian government helps the clinic, because it is a great help for the people here. One of the things we are nervous about inside the humanitarian community is once ISIL is gone in the next couple of months, the world is going to turn its back, said Lisa Grande, the UN's humanitarian chief in Iraq. But as welcome as Canada's support is, the UN and other aid agencies say more is needed from the international community now and going forward. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
