In response to the some 2.4 million displaced, the Red Cross has put in place measures to improve the most pressing needs: water, sanitation, and hygiene, shelter and household items, and food security, nutrition, and livelihoods. In addition, it has strengthened the disaster response and risk reduction capacity of the Iraq Red Cross. The Netherlands Red Cross supplied funding for hygiene kits, jerrycans, food parcels, and non-food items.
