The number of Iraqi refugees continues to grow exponentially. More than two million Iraqi refugees have fled from persecution and sectarian violence, mostly traveling to Jordan and Syria. In addition, at least 1.8 million are displaced within Iraq. According to Human Rights First, tens of thousands of these refugees have been targeted because of their work for the US government, non-governmental organizations or the media. Since April 2003, the Bush administration has admitted exactly 692 Iraqi refugees into the US, and the number of those in need is growing by an estimated 50,000 a month.
