Hassan Tawfiq, who was displaced from the village of Bashir, 5 kilometers (about 3 miles) south of Taza Khormato in Kirkuk province, considers himself lucky. Hassan found himself a job in a bakery making bread and pastries to provide for his family of five, which fled to join him once he arrived in the city of Hillah in Babil province, 100 kilometers (about 63 miles) south of Baghdad.
