450,000 Iraqi refugees

The Sunday Herald report that there is a hidden number of 450,000 refugees created by the war on Iraq. They highlight the case of one of the many young women believed to have been sold into sex slavery in Damascus and Amman.

Ann Maymann, a protection officer at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Damascus, asks: “Who in the international community wants to say there is a refugee crisis in Syria and Jordan? Because saying that is to admit that the US-led war created the conditions for this.”
