جفاف الأهوار – صراع الحياة مع ندرة الماء "Marshland Drought – Life’s Struggle with Water Scarcity"
An aerial shot of the Al-Chibayish Marshes in Dhi Qar, Iraq, captures the severe drought threatening the traditional life of both people and wildlife. The waters that once flooded the area have turned into shallow pools surrounded by cracked land, as buffaloes and boatmen struggle to adapt to a new environmental reality imposed by climate change.
