Iraq Hundreds of displaced Christians still don’t feel protected - At least 145 Christian families from Iraq have been dispaced to the Zayuna area east of Baghdad, and despite escaping ISIS, they still don't feel safe in the camp and aren't receiving basics from the Iraqi government. "We haven't been given the necessary services," one Christian told Rudaw. "The cabins that we live in are not good. We don't even get public power, we get two hours of electricity a day" After 2003 many of Iraq's Christians left the country, but many remaining from Nineveh Province wish to one day return to their homes in Mosul, but feel as if the government is doing enough. "Even if I sleep on the bare ground, I don't mind, I just want to go back," said a Christian woman, Daya Suhail.
