Promotion of Water and sanitation
Access to adequate quantity of good quality water is of crucial importance because water
impacts many vital sectors of society, including nutrition, health, education and sanitation.
Iraqi communities confront a new challenge in addition to the humanitarian challenges,
especially water and sanitation. People in some villages and rural areas do not have access to
safe drinking water or adequate sanitation thus they are still drinking unsafe water causing
spread of communicable water born diseases or different infection disease ,the same scenario
can happen for IDPs in camps unless urgent mandatory interference.
The Iraqi Red Crescent Society adopted a harmonized approach in dealing with basic health
community. Using RO systems adapted to the local context, IRCS has enhanced its volunteers
and communities with the knowledge and skills to specify and reduce health risks.
Increasing access to safe water and improve sanitation have resulted healthy families and
communities in order to strengthen their resilience, these results were reported from Field
monitoring teams and indicated the diminished of casualties and Infections from their local
health services
Still IDPs camps do not have adequate waste disposal services or latrines. The IRCS teams
estimate that a large number of the IDPs camps in Iraq lack the recommended daily water of
adequate quality which require the IRCS assistance through supplying safe water and
adequate sanitation for IDPs camps
Crowd managements is another area where water and sanitation is of utmost importance
especially during religious occasions in Iraq, which mandated the IRCS to interfere by
providing humanitarian services such as pure drinking water which is an important public
health problem to avoid spread of infectious diseases
Specialized team in water and sanitations has taken apart in setting up 15 stations of (RO
Reverse Osmosis System) with capacity of 1-2 cube meters per hour, especially in the
following locations:Location
