IHCHR: Half of displaced Iraqis return to their homes


Iraq High Commission for Human Rights (IHCHR) announced on Thursday that about 50 percent of displaced people have returned to their homes, noting that Salah Eldin governorate saw the highest rate of return by 80 percent.

In a statement, Commissioner Masror Aswd said that this number is a positive sign for the return of displaced peoples.

At least 2,500,000 civilians were forced to leave their homes after ISIS took control over some of Iraqi provinces, Aswd added, noting that the tallies related to displaced people are exaggerated.

Since February 19th, the Iraqi army backed by the US-led international coalition has launched an offensive to retake the right bank of Mosul.
