Phase I: Emergency Water Supply for Populations in Newly Liberated Areas (NLA) of Mosul East Bank, Ninewa Governorate.

Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city came under siege by ISIS in 2014. By October 2016, the Iraq Special Forces in a joint effort with the coalition forces, were involved in a military offensive that saw parts of Mosul, largely the eastern side of the city, retaken. This provided both devastation and increased humanitarian access for residents living in Mosul. The devastation brought about the collapse of the entire water network, that had once provided free, clean water to over 600,000 people occupying the east of Mosul city. To ensure the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) needs of Mosul residents were met after the outbreak of conflict in October 2016, HRF was one of the first to respond in December of the same year.
