US official discusses resettlement in Kurdistan or OPTs

"Palestinian refugees are the most vulnerable population [in Iraq] with no where to go", said US Department of State Assistant Secretary for Population, Refugees and Migration Ellen Sauerbrey in a press briefing Monday about the outcome of the United Nations Conference on Displaced Iraqis held in Geneva last week. Sauerbrey added that the estimated 15,000 Palestinian refugees inside Iraq are "the most difficult situation we are dealing with". Sauerbrey said her administration is talking to Kurdish officials and the Palestinian Authority to resettle those refugees, but no outcome has been reached so far. She said the Palestinian officials she talked to have told her that "they view this issue as unique" and they are requesting the settlement of those refugees in the Palestinian territories.
