Open democracy Podcast has interviews on the subject of Iraqi women refugees in Syria, with groups that try to meet their needs and refugee women discussing the problems they face. IRIN also reported last month that blocking some rice imports to the country meant that many Iraqis were getting reduced rations.

(For people interested in the subject the podcast is part of a series on interviews with activists trying to improve women's status in Syria and Lebanon, the rest here, here and here. Their definition of women's rights does not seem to include mailorder brides, BTW.)
