Gas leak from fertilizer plant in Iraq causes 2 deaths and 90 injuries
Two people have died and 90 others have been injured due to suffocation caused by ammonia gas leaks from a fertilizer factory in the Al-Khor Al-Zubair area south of Iraq. Authorities clarified that the cases of suffocation included factory workers and residents from nearby areas. Most of the injured have left hospitals after receiving treatment, while some cases were transferred to Al-Zubair Hospital for further medical assessment. Civil defense teams managed to evacuate the entire factory and all workers inside. The relevant authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident, which is considered one of the most serious gas leak accidents in the region. Iraq heavily relies on its southern fertilizer factories, which supply about 60% of the country's urea needs, following the shutdown of the northern plants.
