More than 7.25 million Iraqi children face shortages of clean water in schools, as much of the republic’s infrastructure was never rebuilt after the 2003 US military invasion.
This was reported by The National, citing United Nations representative Alix Reboul-Salze. Half of the schools do not have a water source and cannot provide proper hygiene conditions. According to the text of the publication, about a quarter of children do not receive the necessary vaccinations, increasing the likelihood of illness due to unsanitary conditions. FAN.
High population growth leads to school shortages: According to the Iraqi Ministry of Education, there are currently around 10,000 shortages of educational institutions. Against this background, teachers work in several shifts to bypass the entire flow of students.
