BAGHDAD — Iraq’s government acknowledged Tuesday that it cannot handle a massive return of refugees, as the U.N. announced an $11 million relief package to help the most vulnerable Iraqi families trickling back to their war-ravaged homeland.
The U.S. military has warned that a massive return of refugees could rekindle violence between Sunnis and Shiites and that some returnees have found their Baghdad homes occupied by members of the other Muslim sect.
The Iraqi Red Crescent said more than 25,000 Iraqi refugees, mostly living in Syria, returned between Sept. 15 and Friday.
