Salt Harvest Declines Sharply - Iraq

A worker uses a tool to scrape salt from a drying pond in Garmian, southwest of Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, on August 15, 2025. In the plains of Garmian, hundreds of residents continue an ancient salt-harvesting trade once known as "white gold." Production has sharply declined, with ponds now yielding less than a third of their former output, leaving villagers struggling against harsh natural conditions and poor infrastructure. Local harvester Peshkewt Saadoun explains that they collect two types of salt—coarse and fine—and notes that annual production has fallen from 800–900 tons in the past to about 250 tons today.

Kumamoto marks 6 months after quakes, rebuilding homes remains issue

A worker uses a kitchen knife to scrape a waterproof sheet off a piece of concrete -- a requirement under the recycling law -- during the demolition of a house destroyed by a series of powerful earthquakes in the town of Mashiki in Kumamoto Prefecture on Oct. 13, 2016, about six months after the area was devastated by the disaster. "I don't suppose anyone knows we are doing such detailed work, do they?" the worker said, pointing to the fact that the garbage won't be collected unless it is correctly segregated. "This is why reconstruction is being delayed." (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
