Calling For Help...

Following the September 2013 massacre against Camp New Iraq, the UNHCR encouraged all Member States to join international efforts and accept the residents by placing forward a long-term plan. (UNHCR Statement)

The countries of Germany, the United Kingdom, Norway, Albania, Italy, Finland and other European Union states began accepting these refugees. Albania, despite its limited financial resources, accepted a large portion of these residents. This country showed the utmost generosity by housing another 1,900 other Camp Liberty residents on its soil. All relocation project expenses paid has burdened the humanitarian associations and the residents’ families in Europe and the United States.
