    {Local: Al Furat News} The Ministry of Agriculture revealed that more than 50% of the country is afflicted with desertification, while indicating that Baghdad has become unsuitable for housing, especially on the Rusafa side, due to the decline of green spaces.

    According to statistics published by the United Nations years ago, vast areas of the country have been plagued by desertification, to varying degrees, over the past decades, which has exacerbated the severity of dust storms in Baghdad and the country's cities recently.
    "More than 50% of the country is afflicted by desertification, and 20 to 30% are also threatened by this, to varying degrees," the ministry's spokesman, Hamid Al-Nayef, said in a press statement, noting that "facing desertification through the cultivation of green belts needs huge sums and a national program and strategy It is clear, while the sums currently allocated to the ministry are not sufficient for that. "
    He added, "The situation in Baghdad has become unsuitable for housing, especially near Rusafa because of the lack of green spaces."
    In February 2007, the Council of Ministers approved Iraq's accession to the Global Convention to Combat Desertification, which enabled it to receive expertise and technical and scientific assistance from the rest of the convention’s members to stop the desertification plaguing its lands.
    Al-Nayef attributed the aggravation of the desertification problem in the country to "scarcity of water, declining rains and global warming," noting that "the governorates most affected by desertification and dust and sandstorms are the western governorates, as they face desert regions."
    Regarding the number of oases in remote areas of the cities, he explained that "there are 45, most of them are in Anbar Governorate and they generate economic resources and provide many job opportunities. However, the influence of ISIS terrorist gangs over the governorate for years contributed to its destruction, and only 20 of them remained."
    It is noteworthy that, since 2005, the Ministry of Agriculture had implemented desert oases with areas of 200 to 800 dunums irrigated by drip, and nearly seven million drought and salinity-tolerant seedlings were planted in them in the form of windbreaks and green belts, with the aim of stabilizing sand dunes.
    For his part, agricultural expert Nasser Abdel Amir said in a press statement, that "wrong human practices have contributed to the deterioration of the vegetation cover of natural pastures, as well as the ill-considered exploitation of water and the resulting salinization and waterlogging of the soil, as well as marginal agriculture on lands that are not guaranteed rain, in addition to Overgrazing has led to the formation of moving sand dunes and their emergence in areas that did not exist before. "
    He stressed that "what is treated annually from lands plagued by desertification does not address the worsening problem of desertification, because what is added annually from sandy lands is more than what is being treated," noting that "the country succeeded before the year 2010 in returning 200 thousand dunams to the agricultural area, which had been Sand dunes crawled over it in the governorates of Dhi Qar, Diwaniyah and Wasit.
    It is noteworthy that the world annually loses 691 square kilometers of agricultural land every year as a result of the exacerbation of the problem of desertification, while 100 countries in the world are affected by desertification by forcing the inhabitants of agricultural lands to leave their lands and seek refuge in cities.
