IFIR calls upon the UN to take responsibility for the lives of displaced people. The UN must provide daily necessities of the refugees. We also request that the UN ask countries where refugees have sought asylum to recognise them as refugees. At the same time we ask the humanitarian and refugee defending organisations to aid the displaced people financially and morally. The IFIR, through its representative offices in Kurdistan and European countries together with other humanitarian and refugee organisations try to supply the displaced people in Kurdistan with their basic needs. Your aid and support (financial, food, medicine, and clothing.) will ease the pain of the displaced people.

Camps in Kurdistan have had outbreaks of cholera and children are begging on the streets.  There has also been an increase in prostitution in areas where the refugees are placed.  This level of poverty just fuels the refugee crises and increases the likelihood of many more risking their lives in the pursuit of security and happiness in Europe.
