Other news:
Turkey has agreed
to halt filling a reservoir on the Tigris River in order to deliver more
fresh water to Iraq. Turkey reduced water flow into Iraq earlier this year in
order to fill the new reservoir, but the reduced flow caused a water crisis in
Iraq that led to deadly protests over the summer. Basra’s water supply
became so contaminated from the reduced supplies that over 100,000 people were
sickened.
