A powerful sandstorm swept across southern Iraq on April 14, reducing visibility to near zero in provinces like Najaf, Diwaniyah, and Basra. In Basra alone, over 1,000 people were hospitalized due to suffocation, according to health officials. The sandstorm, captured by satellite imagery, highlights Iraq’s growing vulnerability to climate change, desertification, and extreme weather events. Emergency rooms were packed with patients struggling to breathe, as Iraq reels under another climate crisis.
