David Smith-Ferri and Noah Baker Merrill, volunteers with Direct Aid Iraq, recently returned from a trip Iraq and Jordan. They have visited families who fled under death threats, leaving all of their possessions and homes behind. They’ve recorded testimonies from people who have endured torture, extortion, kidnapping, and violence. Direct Aid Iraq  is a network of Iraqis, Americans, and others supporting a future of peace for Iraq through providing aid, facilitating cooperation, engaging in advocacy, and providing education. Marianne Barisonek speaks with Noah Baker Merrill about his experiences.
