Environmental degradation

Iraq has faced environmental problems such as air and water pollution, soil erosion, and the depletion of natural resources, which have further destabilized the country and impacted the health and well-being of its citizens.

Iraq has suffered from deforestation and desertification, which have contributed to soil erosion and loss of biodiversity. This has had a negative impact on the country's ability to produce food and support its people. Iraq also suffered from oil pollution. It is one of the world's largest oil producers, and the extraction and production of oil have had a significant impact on the environment. Oil spills and other forms of pollution have contaminated the country's land and water, affecting the health of its citizens and the ecosystem.

Iraq is facing a severe shortage of water, which has contributed to environmental degradation and has made it more difficult for the country to produce food and support its people. In addition, it has struggled to manage its waste effectively, and this has contributed to environmental degradation and has had a negative impact on public health.
