Shafaqna English– In Iraq’s deep south, Al-Musharrah River has vanished once again.
For the fourth year in a row, this once-vital Tigris tributary has ceased to flow, exposing not just parched soil but a growing national emergency.
The disappearance has left villages like Muwailiha and Al-Awainya surrounded by dust instead of water, with canals overtaken by weeds and families depending on trucked-in supplies to get by. What was once a lifeline for farming, livestock, and marshland communities is now a fading memory, one that speaks to a deeper crisis spreading across Iraq’s rivers and wetlands.
