IRQ Oxfam – Integrated WASH and Protection response to conflict affected communities in Diyala governorate

01.09.2017 - 28.02.2020

A majority of people living in rural northern Diyala do not have access to potable water which results in communities utilizing unsafe sources like rivers and irrigation channels. The lack of solid waste management systems further aggravates the poor health conditions within this area. This project aims at reducing water and sanitation related risks and increasing access to clean water for IDPs, returnees and host communities living in the districts of Kifri and Khanaqin. It also helps particularly vulnerable families access protection services.

Repubblica democratica del Congo: aiuto d’emergenza nella regione del Kasai

01.09.2017 - 31.03.2018

Il conflitto che dall’agosto del 2016 lacera la regione del Kasai si è aggiunto alle tante crisi che già colpiscono la Repubblica democratica del Congo. Le conseguenze: oltre 1,4 milioni di sfollati e 3 milioni di persone in condizioni di insicurezza alimentare. L’Aiuto umanitario della DSC ha esteso le sue operazioni a questa regione, dove l’aiuto d’emergenza è ancora pressoché inesistente. L’intervento mira a sopperire alle esigenze di base delle persone colpite.
