EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE TO THE EXTREMELY VULNERABLE IDPS AFFECTED BY THE IRAQ CRISIS THROUGH DELIVERY OF BASIC LIVING SERVICES IN ANBAR AND SALAH AD-DIN PROVINCES The ongoing crisis in Iraq has forced more than 3 million Iraqis to flee their homes and seek safety and protection in other areas of displacement. Muslim Aid through its continues humanitarian response to the needs of those IDPs and through multi-clusters' needs assessment which was conducted recently and targeted the fresh displacement in Anbar and Salah ad-din has released that some of the IDPs especially those with special needs such as (female headed-household, people with disabilities, people with a lot of children) in seiged and hard-to-reach areas were enable to get access to the minimum basic living necessities such as safe drinking water, hygiene kits and ready-to-eat food during their first four days of displacement. This was a direct result of many parameters represented by the lack of coordination among the targeted provinces, access-related difficulties and conflict of interest among the concerned security and local authorities. Muslim Aid proposes this project to act as the first respondent to any sudden displacement in sieged or hard-to-reach areas taking into consideration the humanitarian principles and the protection mainstreaming as a baseline and indication for its humanitarian intervention.

MA’s response plan for the immediate needs of the IDPs addresses some of the key findings reflected in the multi-clusters' needs assessment mission conducted by MA team along the last period as well as the needs reported by other humanitarian actors such as OCHA, WFP, UNICEF, IOM and ICRC. MA will ensure the adaptation of humanitarian principles and Protection Mainstreaming in its activities under this proposed project.
