Penjwin is a border town that has been virtually destroyed over the years. It is one of the most disadvantaged towns in the region. In the early eighties it became a battlefield during the Iraq-Iran war and later on was depopulated and destroyed by the Iraqi regime in 1988. In the last six years the people have started to return to the town. Up till now hundreds of families still live in pitiful conditions without decent shelters, public services, roads and other necessary facilities.
