Iraqis return home 'in thousands'
Most of the returnees are coming from Syria - and very few from Jordan, where better-off refugees tended to go.
"At present, the Iraqi government offers 1 million Iraqi dinars (US$812) for every family (not individual) that returns to Iraq."-AsiaTimes [Excellent article on the sweep of Iraqi politics, at the moment, btw...]
From UPI:
BAGHDAD, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- The Iraqi Health Ministry said more than 80 cases of cholera were reported in Baghdad over the past few weeks.
A Health Ministry official said most cases of the disease were reported in impoverished areas that lack water and other necessary services, Alsumaria satellite TV reported Friday.
The official also said water supplies at six government hospitals were found to be unsanitary.
