100,000 Iraqi refugees arrive at Iran's western border

Ilam, April 10, IRNA -- Close to 100,000 Iraqi refugees have reached
the border near the Iranian city of Mehran in the western Ilam
province, the secretary of the interior ministry's headquarters for
Iraq crisis, Farhad Barikani said here Thursday.
The Islamic Republic started giving relief aid to the refugees and
those displaced since Wednesday, but no one was allowed to enter
Iranian territory, he added.
"The Islamic Republic's policy is to prevent refugees from
entering Iranian territory and extending services to them inside
Iraq's borders," Barikani said.
"Despite the readiness to settle the refugees inside the Iranian
border strip, we preferred to hand over humanitarian assistance inside
the Iraqi territory because of certain problems," the official added.
Barikani described the situation of the refugees at the border as
'regretful' and called for immediate assistance of international
organizations.
"Due to the high number of the Iraqi refugees, there is need for
more food and medicine and the Islamic Republic cannot cope with
meeting these demands single-handedly," he said.
Iran has set up two camps at the border cities of Mehran and
Dehloran to accommodate 50,000 and 25,000 refugees respectively.
Dehloran governor said Thursday that 91 Iraqi families had arrived
at the border near Fakkeh in 'unsuitable conditions' and been given
food and medicine.
The governor of Mehran, Sadeq Lotfi, said there was urgent need
for food, water, ice, fuel and medicine to help the refugees. "The
United Nations and the (International Committee of) Red Cross must
rush to help refugees along the Islamic Republic given their
deplorable conditions," he added.
Governor general of Ilam province, Mahmoud Zamani Qomi, said that
the refugees were primarily worried about their future.
"Chaos and disorder has created a terrible situation for these
defenseless people who are threatened by hunger and thirst," he added.
Iranian relief workers are intending to take relief aid to the
Iraqi city of Badra -- less than 17 km from Mehran -- where tens of
thousands of refugees have arrived in recent days.
Iran's longest stretch of common borders -- 430 km -- with Iraq is
in Ilam province which borders Iraqi provinces of Waset and Nissan.
Iran closed its western borders with Iraq before the outbreak of
the US-led invasion in order to prevent the fresh influx of refugees
into the country which is housing more than 200,000 Iraqis since the
first Persian Gulf War in 1991.
Some 1.3 million Iraqi refugees flooded Iranian borders during the
1991 Persian Gulf War. Officials have predicted that a protracted war
could unleash a refugee flood of between 500,000 to 1.2 million to
Iranian borders.
To soften its 'closed door' policy, Tehran has vowed to set up
refugee camps on the 'no man's land' near the border with Iraq.
The head of the interior ministry's headquarters for Iraq crisis,
Ahmad Hosseini, said Sunday that Iran had spent some 11 million
dollars to build and equip camps for probable Iraqi refugees.
"The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has
granted only one million dollars to Iran for the Iraqi crisis," he
said, adding that to date no additional relief aid has been received.
"Iran needs some 16 million dollars to establish, equip and
provide necessary facilities to Iraqi refugees but, unfortunately,
international agencies have not responded with enough credit," he
noted.
Hosseini said Iran had established 10 camps on border points,
capable of accommodating 400,000 refugees.
Iran for decades has been hard pressed coping with the needs of
millions of refugees that have sought refuge in its territory because
of war and economic hardships in the region.
