FY 2006 Assistance to Iraqi Returnees and Refugees Grant

FY 2006 Assistance to Iraqi Returnees and Refugees Grant: "Some 250,000 Iraqis have voluntarily returned, mostly spontaneously, since 2003. UNHCR estimates that up to 100,000 new returns are possible in 2006. Over 70,000 non-Iraqi refugees reside in Iraq. Estimates indicate that at least 600,000 Iraqis reside in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey under Temporary Protective Regimes (TRP) that are intended to provide some humanitarian assistance and to protect refugees and persons living in refugee-like situations against refoulement.
