As a result of the ongoing violence in Syria and in Iraq, more than 12.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in Syria and 5.2 million people in Iraq by end of 2014. 3.3 million Syrian refugees (January 2015 figures) are registered and/or assisted by host governments, what leads to heavy burden on the resources of the host communities. SDC secondments to UN agencies of Swiss experts allow technical support, advice and strategic planning in the three domains of intervention of the Swiss Cooperation Strategy 2015-2018 (Basic services and emergency relief; Protection; Water), as well as in the domain of coordination.

En décembre 2013, un nouveau conflit armé a éclaté. Partant de la province d’Anbar, il a rapidement gagné le centre et le nord de l’Irak. De larges pans de la population civile ont été contraints de quitter leur domicile. Bon nombre de ces déplacés internes ont fui vers Bagdad, où ils bénéficient d’une protection et d’un approvisionnement de base insuffisants. La DDC soutient l’organisation non gouvernementale internationale Conseil norvégien pour les réfugiés (NRC), qui s’engage en faveur des déplacés internes à Bagdad.
