A remarkable majority of Iraqis who recently fled from Mosul and surrounding villages remain optimistic about returning home one day and living safely in their country even as fighting rages on, this survey commissioned by the Norwegian Refugee Council has found.

The survey carried out in displacement camps among 315 Iraqis over last three weeks found 60 per cent stating their desire to return back to their homes as soon as conditions allow as well as the presence of a home to return to—although with fighting still ongoing that might change—in addition to an extra 7 per cent who wanted to return but had no home to go back to.
