flag Iraqi farmers protest water ban, demanding compensation and food security amid drought and low river levels.

flag Hundreds of Iraqi farmers protested in Diwaniyah and nearby areas against a government ban on land cultivation to conserve water amid severe drought and critically low river levels. flag The ban, aimed at prioritizing drinking water for Iraq’s 46 million people, has forced many farmers to abandon their fields due to water scarcity, with river flows at less than 35% of historical levels. flag Farmers from multiple provinces demanded compensation and guaranteed water access for agriculture, warning the crisis threatens food security in a country where rice and bread are staples. flag They cited prolonged drought, upstream dams, and war-damaged infrastructure as key causes.
