Al-Kut Waste Burning Threatens Neighborhoods
Residents of the eastern and northeastern neighborhoods in Al-Kut city are facing a health and environmental threat due to waste burning activities at the sanitary landfill site located northeast of the city. These daily operations generate thick smoke and foul odors, adversely affecting the health of residents, especially children and the elderly who suffer from respiratory illnesses such as asthma and suffocation. The community is calling for the relocation of the site to a location far from the city and for the development of recycling factories to address the problem sustainably, particularly since the current site has become close to residential areas as the city expands. Authorities have confirmed that the site was previously relocated and is now securely covering the waste. However, some individuals are tampering with the site and conducting illegal fires at night. There is also a plan underway to establish a waste recycling plant to resolve the issue permanently.
