Refugee Cause
Since the U.S. led invasion in 2003, the number of Iraqis seeking refuge in other countries has increased dramatically. An estimated 2 million refugees have fled the country, mostly to neighboring Syria and Jordan; there are roughly 1.8 million internally displaced persons in Iraq. It is estimated that there will be nearly 2.3 million refugees by the end of 2007.¹
