Reportage: Klimakatastrophe im Irak


„In Iraq, climate change has transformed the once mythical mesopotamian marshes into deserts. It’s not only temperatures that exceed 125°F and record low rainfall, but dams built by Turkey, Iran, and Syria on the Tigris and Euphrates river have stopped the flow of water before it can pass the border. Thousands have already been displaced in a drought that threatens the entire country.“
