Excessive waste that destroys life in Qayara and follows its inhabitants with diseases
Translation / Hamid Ahmed
Like any other 15-year-old teenager, Ahmed Jassim sits in front of his smart phone watching the videos of the singers and spends another video game at his modest family home in the Qayyarah district of Nineveh province.
But Jassim can not, like his peers, go out to play the ball and spend time with friends because any simple activity is quickly overwhelmed by the damage to his heart caused by the smoke that covered his city and polluted the farms.
And detonated the elements of the organization is urging 25 oil wells from the city, coinciding with the launch of liberalization last year. The smoke covered the cattle with a layer of soot emitted from nearby oil wells that set fire to the gunmen.
"He hates life, and this affects him not only physically, but psychologically as well," said Rehab Fayyad, Ahmed's mother, in a sad tone.
Doctors say the impact of an organization calling on Iraq's environment is an unprecedented chronic toxicity that has caused large numbers of livestock to die and agricultural fields no longer grow as before. In addition, young people and adults have suffered chronic complications from difficulty breathing. According to a report prepared by the United Nations in coordination with the Iraqi Oil Ministry, during the period from June 2016 to March 2017, the organization burned or wasted about 2 million barrels of oil.
Environment experts fear that much of the crude oil has leaked into the underground water and nearby Tigris, the lifeline of millions of Iraqis that stretches more than 1,000 miles to Baghdad and beyond.
The United Nations said armed militants also blew up 35,000 tonnes of smelly sulfur into the atmosphere by burning the sulfur plant north of Qayara.
"The impact of what has been felt for many years and decades will continue to be felt ... the worst side has not yet emerged, but the government has other priorities," said director of the Qayara health department, Abdel Moneim Tabor.
Ali Faraj, an environmentalist, said that within three hours, more than 600 children and elderly people rushed to the hospital suffering from problems and shortness of breath. After the burning of the sulfur factory, the cases became more serious, including a rash, chest infections and deaths due to Choking.
