UN sounds alarm on heat threat to Iraq’s fabled marshland

Baghdad (AFP) July 10, 2023

Southern Iraq’s fabled marshland is suffering its worst heatwave in the past 40 years, the United Nations warned on Monday, reporting a drastic drop in water levels.

Largely arid Iraq is ranked by the UN as one of the world’s five countries most impacted by some effects of climate change, and authorities there say the country is going through its fourth straight year of drought.
