IOM - drastic rise in people feeling homes
Security
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) says the number of Iraqis fleeing their homes to escape sectarian violence is rising dramatically. The group says almost 9,000 Iraqis per week are seeking safer lives elsewhere in the country. The IOM says there are now around 190,000 internally displaced persons in central and southern Iraq. The IOM says they urgently need shelter and jobs but that aid is running low.
