According to the complainant, 25-30 families are facing eviction from their homes to make way for a sewage infrastructure project supported by UNDP. They are located in Jubail, Fallujah, near the Euphrates river.  The complainant alleges that the district governorate has been pressuring them to leave since January 2020, and that on 10 January 2021 they were told by the subdistrict governorate and the director of the sewage department that they had one to two weeks to vacate. The complainant informed SECU that they have been living on the land since 2003 and that they do not own the land, and they were encouraged to live there by the government as farmers. The complainant says they have received no offer of compensation or relocation assistance from the government or UNDP. The complaintant alleges that at least one person has been arrested for a short period of time as a result of this dispute. 

According to the complainant, they made contact with UNDP national staff/representatives in May of 2020 when they were told that their concerns were between them and the government. The complainant believes that there is adequate area within an existing nearby sewer facility to accommodate new sewage infrastructure, and they think that land should be used instead of forcing the eviction of his family and his neighbors.
