Description What is done in the programme or project and why, what results are pursued, who benefits from the activities and who are involved in the implementation.

The global appeal for Iraq, published in January 2016, was 861 million USD. Only 40 % of this has been funded so far. Now the needs have increased to more than a billion USD. OCHA estimates that the Mosul offensive will cause additional needs as estimated 1,2 - 1,5 million people will need shelter and emergency support. The Mosul operation will be the biggest humanitarian operation in 2016.
