Iraqi fish farmers clean tanks of dead fish at a farm in the town of al-Numaniyah, near the city of Kut in southern Iraq, on April 14, 2026. Thousands of fish died last week in eastern Iraq in polluted water from sewage in the Tigris River, which caused huge losses to fish farmers. Heavy rains and floods that swept through Iraq last week pushed sewage from the Diyala River into the Tigris River, polluting the river's waters in southern Iraq.
