Iraq cautions against river swimming amid heat
According to Iraqi security sources, the river police forces in Baghdad have intensified their measures to reduce drowning and suicide incidents during the summer months, as temperatures have risen to between 45 and 50 degrees Celsius. The police have erected signs and warnings along the riverbanks and have established patrols and boats to monitor the most dangerous areas and spots frequented by young people for swimming, especially near bridges and parks. Despite these precautions, rescue teams have recorded several cases of drowning and attempted suicides; however, they have managed to save many individuals from certain death, focusing on areas with strong currents and changing depths. Authorities advise residents not to swim in unauthorized places, especially with the high temperatures, and emphasize the importance of supervising children and raising awareness among citizens about the dangers of swimming in the rivers to ensure their safety.
