( CNN ) -- As violence again roils Iraq , the United Nations reported more than 65,000 people had fled conflict areas in the past week . The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said in a report that those Iraqis fled from the cities of Falluja and Ramadi in Iraq 's central Anbar province . More than 140,000 people have been made homeless since new fighting broke out at the end of 2013 , according to Iraq 's Ministry of Displacement and Migration . It is the largest displacement in Iraq since the sectarian violence of 2006-2008 . That figure adds to the 1.13 million people already internally displaced and mostly residing in Baghdad , Diyala and Ninewa provinces . Adrian Edwards , spokesman for the refugee agency , told reporters in Geneva that its staff and other people in Anbar had reported many civilians were unable to leave conflict-affected areas where food and fuel were in short supply . `` Most of the recently displaced remain outside Falluja city , accommodated by relatives or staying in schools , mosques and hospitals where resources are running low , '' he said . `` Host families are having difficulties sustaining the burden of caring for the displaced . '' More violence was recorded on Friday . Seven people were killed and nine others were hurt in separate incidents when Iraqi Army mortars landed in residential areas in Falluja , health officials there told CNN .
