CAMP BACKGROUND INFORMATION
As one of the East Mosul Camps (EMCs), Hassansham U3 camp opened on 3 November 2016, in response to the humanitarian crisis that originated from the military offensive on Mosul City. The camp primarily hosts Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Ninewa Governorate, including those from the Mosul plains.
The population of Hassansham U3 includes Female Headed Households and former detainees (who were arrested by security authorities of the KRG, including those who were convicted by Kurdish courts of crimes as a result of affiliation or participation with Da’esh). In addition, families with tribal or security issues, as well as families from the villages surrounding the EMCs who have not received security approval for their return, are accommodated in Hassansham U3. IDPs in Hassansham U3 live in dire conditions, facing severe restrictions on their freedom of movement due to their sensitive profiles. Access to basic services, including education, health, and WASH are inadequate, posing significant protection risks and public health challenges.
In Hassansham U3, UNHCR provides IDPs with civil documentation support through its partner INTERSOS.
