    Circumstances have forced families to migrate from their farmland to the cities, where tensions are rising with longtime residents amid dwindling resources.
    The newspaper pointed out that all over Iraq, small demonstrations are taking place every week denouncing the poor services in the face of the intense heat.
    In the Iraqi marshes, a banner for protesters last month expressed misery.
    The letter stated: If you ask me about a case, I will tell you: drought, poverty, forced migration and violence.
