Displaced Iraqis wait for water in the neighborhood of al-Fudheliyah, eastern Baghdad, IraqApril 3, 2008
GENEVA (AP) — Aid groups including U.N. agencies say nearly 2.8 million Iraqis are now uprooted within their country.
Iraqi authorities, the Red Cross and U.N. agencies working in Iraq say they have recorded an increase of 300,000 displaced people so far this year largely due to better methods for registering displacement.
The International Organization for Migration says more than 1 million displaced Iraqis lack adequate food and shelter. A similar number are without regular income or employment.
In addition to those displaced within Iraq, more than 2 million Iraqis have fled the country and are living as refugees abroad.

GENEVA (AP) - More than 4 million Iraqis have now been displaced by violence in the country, the U.N. refugee agency said Tuesday, warning that the figure will continue to rise.
The number of Iraqis who have fled the country as refugees has risen to 2.2 million, said Jennifer Pagonis, spokeswoman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. A further 2 million have been driven from their homes but remain within the country, increasingly in “impoverished shanty towns,” she said.
