Water Crisis Impacts Aquaculture In Taq Taq - Iraq

TAQ TAQ, Kurdistan Region The escalating water crisis in the Kurdistan Region has transcended the threat to potable water, now systematically dismantling one of the region’s most vital economic pillars: the aquaculture and fish farming sector. In Taq Taq district, a cornerstone of the region's fish production, the plummeting water levels of the Lesser Zab River have triggered a catastrophic die-off of millions of fish, inflicting millions of dollars in losses on investors. An Economic and Environmental Catastrophe The upstream damming of the Lesser Zab’s headwaters by Iran, compounded by the severe impacts of climate change, has caused oxygen levels in Kurdistan’s aquaculture projects to drop to lethal levels. Consequently, farm owners are not only losing their livestock but are also witnessing the erosion of thousands of jobs that rely on this sector.

Larouco fire (Ourense) reaches 20,000 hectares burned and becomes the largest in the history of Galicia

Several neighbors eat together in Cernego, August 19, 2025, in Villamartin de Valdeorras, Ourense, Galicia (Spain). The fire that remains active in the Ourense municipality of Larouco, which crossed the Sil at several points to pass into the province of Lugo, continues this Tuesday without control and already affects about 20,000 hectares. As of Monday, August 18, it is already considered the largest forest fire in the history of Galicia. The wave of fires affecting Galicia has already devastated almost 72,000 hectares, becoming the second most lethal wave of fires in the Galician community, only behind the fires that devastated more than 95,000 hectares in 2006.

Infant Dies of Malnutrition in Hospital - Khan Yunis

Infant Dies of Malnutrition in Hospital - Khan Yunis

Relatives mourn the death of six-month-old Zainab Abu Haleeb at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, on July 26, 2025. Zainab dies due to severe malnutrition, caused by a critical shortage of infant formula and lack of access to essential medical treatment. Her condition reflects the broader humanitarian catastrophe facing Gaza, where ongoing conflict has decimated healthcare infrastructure and restricted the flow of food, medicine, and humanitarian aid. With hospitals overwhelmed and supplies depleted, children and other vulnerable populations are disproportionately affected. Zainab’s death underscores the lethal consequences of siege conditions and the urgent need for international intervention to protect civilian lives and ensure access to basic necessities. Her story adds to the growing number of preventable child deaths in a region already devastated by war and displacement. Photo by Dooa Albaz/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

Relatives mourn the death of six-month-old Zainab Abu Haleeb at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, on July 26, 2025. Zainab dies due to severe malnutrition, caused by a critical shortage of infant formula and lack of access to essential medical treatment. Her condition reflects the broader humanitarian catastrophe facing Gaza, where ongoing conflict has decimated healthcare infrastructure and restricted the flow of food, medicine, and humanitarian aid. With hospitals overwhelmed and supplies depleted, children and other vulnerable populations are disproportionately affected. Zainab’s death underscores the lethal consequences of siege conditions and the urgent need for international intervention to protect civilian lives and ensure access to basic necessities.
