I just thought of writing to you to tell that you have put it in a very genuine way here when you are explaining about the choice of the Iraqis.
Also, I would like to share with you my concern about the numbers. As an NGO coordinator, I always thought that the numbers are actually inflated, and believe me, there was a time that I was so naive criticising those who published official reports with inflated numbers. It didn’t cross my mind that it was done so for funding purposes until I was literally told by a colleague that it was so. It was very interesting to read that you think the Iraqi refugee population is undercounted,exactly the opposit,and the reasons behind this calculations.
Obviously, it is impossible to have accurate figures to determine who is right! Whatever the numbers are, inflated or undercounted, it won’t change anything from the misery that we are reading in the rest of the articles in this site.
Be safe and blessed in your very very meaningful mission.
Love,
Nanor
