Moulash El Mahdia: 4000 Chickens Dead
Poultry farmers from Melloush Municipality in Tunisia have suffered significant losses after more than 4,000 chickens died out of a total of 5,000 that were being raised by the poultry farm. This reflects a crisis in the sector, especially amid heatwaves and power and water outages. The farmers attribute the deaths to multiple factors, including traditional farming methods, rising temperatures, and the disruptions in water and electricity supply. These conditions led to a rapid decline in the health of the flock within a short period. This phenomenon increases the suffering of small farmers, who are already facing rising production costs and climate changes. The repeated incidents of poultry mortality threaten the continuity of their activities and pose serious economic risks. The farmers have called on authorities to review policies related to poultry pricing, emphasizing that frequent power outages and recurring exceptional circumstances highlight the urgent need for sustainable solutions to ensure the sector's stability and protect them from losses that could jeopardize their livelihoods.
