Amnesty International calls for action on Iraq refugee crisis
Amnesty International is calling on the countries who participated in the US-led invasion of Iraq to take action to help the refugee crisis.
The organisation is publishing a new report today which says the situation is growing increasingly desperate for the 4-point-7 million people who have become displaced since the 2003 invasion.
The damning report says the international community has failed to respond to the crisis in a meaningful way, with countries like Jordan and Syria forced to host most of the refugees.
Only one percent of the Iraqi refugee population is thought to be in the developed world.
The report also says many displaced families are being forced to send their children into child labour for money.
