<p>The UK is closely monitoring the humanitarian response for the estimated 76,000
residents of West Mosul who are currently displaced. The majority of people displaced
from West Mosul are being accommodated in camps or emergency sites, but some are also
choosing to stay with relatives or in local host communities.</p><p>Hamam al-Alil
is the first stop for displaced people fleeing West Mosul, where Internally Displaced
People (IDPs) are security screened by the Government of Iraq before moving on to
camps or other accommodation. The UN has set up temporary accommodation for IDPs waiting
overnight at the screening site. The camp at Hamam al-Alil is now at full capacity
but more spaces are currently under construction by UNHCR and the Government of Iraq.
In the meantime, IDPs are being transferred to other camps east and north of Mosul
where there is space available. In order to improve the living conditions of IDPs
UKAid has helped provide them with food, shelter, water and sanitation assistance
as well as cash assistance through funding partners in camps across Ninewa. The UK
has ongoing discussions with UNHCR on the need to improve conditions and increase
capacity at all camps.</p>
