Pilgrims Begin Forty Day Trek to Karbala - Iraq

The forty-day walking festival from Ras Al-Bisha to Karbala. Iraqi pilgrims begin the symbolic Arbaeen journey from Ras Al-Bisha, located in southern Iraq, to the holy city of Karbala. Captured on July 18, 2025, this ritual marks the start of the 40-day spiritual trek ahead of Arbaeen, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world. Devotees commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, who was killed in the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD. Along the way, participants receive food, water, and shelter from volunteers at service tents (mawakib), demonstrating hospitality and religious solidarity. Many of the pilgrims walk hundreds of kilometers, bearing flags and religious symbols, chanting, and praying, enduring the scorching summer heat as a testament to their faith and sacrifice. The journey reflects a deeply rooted tradition of devotion and resilience in Shiite Muslim culture. Photo by Samer Al Husseini/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

Scorching Heat Torments Displaced Families - Syria

Many camp residents in Idlib suffer from the intense heat during the summer, due to the lack of basic cooling facilities and weak infrastructure, which exacerbates their daily suffering. Under the blazing sun, displaced families in makeshift camps across rural Idlib endure extreme summer temperatures on July 29, 2025. With little to no access to electricity, clean water, or ventilation, residents seek shade wherever they can and rely on rudimentary means to cope with the heat. The tents provide minimal protection from the scorching weather, and the absence of proper infrastructure worsens their hardship. Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable, as humanitarian relief remains limited in the war-torn region. The heatwave highlights the fragile living conditions faced by thousands displaced by years of conflict, struggling not just with poverty and displacement, but also with climate-related challenges.
