Iraq’s Missing Campaign
Estimates of the number of missing persons in Iraq range from hundreds of thousands to well over a million. Over 300 mass graves have been identified and numbers are growing as more are discovered. This has overwhelmed the limited resources that humanitarian organisations in Iraq can call upon. Seven years after the discovery of the mass graves in Iraq, the families of the missing still have no answers.
The Iraq’s Missing Campaign was established to create high-profile campaigning and to provide direct practical relief and support to the relatives of missing and disappeared persons in Iraq.
The successful identification of missing people in Iraq will help bring peace to families who’s band of suffering stretches decades. We believe this is an essential ingredient in the post-conflict peace process of Iraq.
