Iraqis supporting family abroad

Iraqi refugees are not allowed to work in Jordan and Syria

Are you an Iraqi who either sends or receives money from relatives out of the country?

BBC News is interested in hearing about your experiences, for a forthcoming series on remittances.

Migrant workers and expatriates have been sending part of their wages to their families back home for years.

But with many Iraqis fleeing violence at home, money is also travelling in the opposite direction as families support relatives living as refugees abroad.

The UNHCR estimates that of the 4.7m Iraqis who fled their homes in recent years, more than 2m have left the country.
