Humanitarian Impact of Resettlement of IDPs: A Case of Northern Iraq

The book examines various causes of malnutrition of
young children amongst Internally Displace People
and their resettled counterparts comprehensively. A
cross sectional study of the causes of malnutrition
and nutritional status of children in these two
groups lead to the conclusion that resettlement does
not necessarily lead to an automatic improvement in
the wellbeing of Internally Displaced People (IDP).
This study showed that although economic status,
food availability and diversity, and other
conditions improved for resettlers, it did not lead
to improvement in their nutritional status.
