Iraqi Refugees

About 800 people fell ill in a mass outbreak of food poisoning at a camp for displaced people east of the Iraqi city of Mosul, officials and aid groups said on Tuesday.

An estimated 400,000 Iraqis are trapped in the ISIS-controlled Old City of west Mosul facing food shortages and growing panic under shelling that could provoke a mass exodus, the United Nations refugee agency UNHCR said on Thursday.

President Donald Trump signed a new travel ban Monday that administration officials said they hope will end legal challenges over the matter by imposing a 90-day ban on the issuance of new visas for citizens of six majority-Muslim nations.

Iraqi lawmakers voted Monday to call on the government to enact a reciprocal travel ban on Americans if Washington does not withdraw its decision to bar Iraqis, officials said.

Refugees who were en route to the United States on Friday evening have been detained at U.S. airports and restricted from the country as a result of President Trump's executive order banning their entry.

Five Iraqi passengers and one Yemeni were barred from boarding an EgyptAir flight from Cairo to New York on Saturday following President Donald Trump's ban on the entry of citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries, sources at Cairo airport said.

The scene was hardly conducive to romance: she was a sick Iraqi in a wave of refugees trying to enter Serbia, while he belonged to the stern Macedonian police force keeping guard.

The United Nations' refugee agency is shipping tents, blankets and other aid from the United Arab Emirates to northern Iraq to help those affected by the military campaign to retake Mosul from the ISIS group.

ISIS fighters may have captured up to 3,000 fleeing Iraqi villagers on Thursday and subsequently executed 12 of them, the UN refugee agency UNHCR said in a daily report on events in Iraq.

Since the beginning of Euro 2016, Burckhardt has been organising "Soccer Dinners" for refugees to join Germans at home, sharing a pizza and a sofa in front of the game and getting to know their new neighbours

Sniper fire by ISIS terrorists killed a senior Iraqi commander near the northern ISIS-held city of Mosul, the terrorist group's main bastion in Iraq, as the U.N. refugee agency warned that thousands of civilians have been newly displaced from that area.

ISIS is using several hundred families as "human shields" in Fallujah, Iraq, witnesses told the UN agency for refugees UNHCR. It comes just one day after Iraqi troops forced their way into the city, a stronghold of the terrorist group.

After three military combat tours in warn-torn Iraq, Chase Millsap returned home to get on with a civilian life, but there was one thing he couldn't do: leave a comrade behind, certainly not one who had saved his life.

A University of California, Berkeley student who came to the US as an Iraqi refugee says he was unfairly removed from a flight at Los Angeles International Airport earlier this month because a fellow passenger was alarmed by an innocent conversation he was having in Arabic.

Father Amer Saka, a priest at the St. Joseph Chaldean Catholic Church in Ontario, was in charge of funds to sponsor 20 Iraqi refugees.
