This opinion article discusses displaced Iraqi families in Kurdistan. These families were forced to leave their cities and villages of origin either because of the numerous violent strikes by IS or in response to different authorities’ instructions. The families were initially received in outdoor spaces such as gardens after arriving on foot or in shelter less caravans—that is, as groups of refugees who traveled together—and then were supplied with tents a few weeks later. Eventually, each family was supplied with its own trailer inside the camp of MarEliSome families have managed to rent apartments near the camps, although in order to afford the rent, they have had to live together with two to five families in the same apartment. Several nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are currently working with the displaced Iraqis, offering help with school reinsertion; social and professional reinsertion; food, clothing, and medication supplies; psychological support; and so on. It is well known that the risk of developing mental disorders such as major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, and psychotic disorders is higher among displaced populations compared with that of stable populations.
