Power outage causes bird deaths in Mahdia

Repeated power outages during the summer of 2026 caused the death of between 150,000 and 200,000 poultry in the Medenine Governorate of Tunisia, representing approximately 30 to 40 percent of the flock. This resulted in financial losses estimated at around 20,000 Tunisian dinars for poultry farmer Osama bin Aisha. Despite farmers being equipped with air conditioning units and generators, the electrical crisis disrupted the production system, wasted various resources, and affected the quality and market prices of the poultry. This poses a threat to the future of the industry and broadens the scope of economic and social damages for those working in the sector. Farmers are calling for urgent intervention by the government to unify support and ensure the sector's continuity.
