Shahriar Kia, the organization’s spokesman, announced in a statement that: “Although four days passes since the rainfall, still in many parts of Camp Liberty, especially the southern and southwestern sections, the land is full of water and sludge.”
Shahriar Kia added: “Water level is still knee high while the sewage is overflown and mixed with rain water which has polluted the environment, propagating diseases.”
Excessive rainfall in Baghdad caused death of 4 people and the capital’s residents faced transportation difficulties on Wednesday when the government was officially shut down due to floods in the streets.
Shahria Kia added: “Despite obstacles created by the Iraqi government, Liberty residents were able to empty 9 million liters of water using their limited tankers and rudimentary equipment.”
