Iraq remains one of the most dangerous places in the world. Its refugee crisis is worsening. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees UNHCR since the US-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003 an estimated 4.7 million have been displaced both within and outside Iraq and for many the situation is desperate. Many refugees are finding it difficult to survive said Philip Luther Deputy Director of Amnesty Internationals Middle East and North Africa Programme. They are banned from working and unable to pay rents buy adequate food for themselves and their families or obtain medical treatment. Those lucky enough to escape Iraq rely on savings which for many are rapidly running out. Many families are destitute and facing impossible choices and new risks like having to resort to child labour and the prospect of being forced through circumstances to undertake voluntary return to Iraq.

Fri, 18 May 2012 05:33:41 -0700

The Palestinian cave dwellers of South Hebron hills have deeds to their land that date from the 19th century yet they are engaged in a growing battle with Jewish settlers who have come from Europe the US and modern Israel to claim the mantle as direct descendants of this dusty stony ground. According to human rights groups the cave-dwellers are the subject of a campaign of ethnic cleansing. The Israeli government wants them to leave the sparsely populated area of the southern West Bank to facilitate its annexation to Israel. There are no villages or towns so if the cave-dwellers are cleared out there is nothing in the way to prevent them drawing a new border. There are very few people here but it is a large area and the Palestinian Authority has shown very little interest in the issue. But the cave dwellers are determined to stay on the land they have farmed for generations and have resisted a series of evictions. Censuses have largely overlooked them but the latest figures compiled by aid workers suggest there are between 300 and 700 living in about 15 communities.The Palestinian cave dwellers lives have been almost unaffected by modern times. Israeli authorities prevent them from building on the land and Jewish settlers harass them regularly residents complain about the Israeli restrictions yet they live in the caves by choice and have no intention of leaving their land.
