Makhmour Refugee Camp 

Makhmour Camp was created by the United Nations in 1998.

The camp was established in the eastern foothills of Mount Karaçuk in Makhmour to accommodate Kurds who were displaced due to the conflicts and village evacuations in the 1990s, and migrated from Turkey.

According to the Administration of Makhmour Refugee Camp, approximately 10,000 people reside in the camp. (RT/PE)
