Amendment No. 6 | Doc. 13741 | 20 April 2015
Humanitarian consequences of the actions of the terrorist group known as “Islamic State”
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 4, insert the following paragraph:
"Due to the activities of DA'ESH in Iraq and Syria, the border between these countries has become meaningless, transforming the two countries into a single battleground. As a result, in addition to hundreds of thousands of Syrians, many Iraqis have also been adversely affected by the atrocities committed by the terrorist organization. The UN has recently announced that there are close to 3 million refugees and internally displaced persons in Iraq, most of whom have been resettled in the camps throughout the Kurdish region. As an immediate neighbour to the conflict-stricken areas, Turkey has received more than 200 000 Iraquis, including 20 000 Yezidis and Christians, and built three camps for 37 500 internally displaced persons inside Iraq."
