3,200 Iraqis Rendered Homeless By Flood


Hundreds of Iraqi citizens have been rendered homeless in Wasit and Maysay provinces after days of heavy rain culminated in heavy floods, swallowing homes in the regions which are in the southeast of the country’s capital, Baghdad.
Heavy were the floods that roads turned into rivers, while people fled their houses with some trying to salvage a few items they could carry through the floodwater.
Local officials in Wasit said around 3200 people were forced to flee their homes, seeking shelter in makeshift camps set up by the Red Crescent charity organisation.
