Al-Awaas Sheep blockade ends
An Iraqi decision has been implemented to suspend the movement of live animals crossing from Syria to the Gulf countries through Iraq, following reports of foot-and-mouth disease cases in certain Syrian regions. Syria has denied any widespread outbreak or confirmed infections. This measure was taken as a precautionary step to enhance veterinary safety, at a time when Syria was using the Iraqi transit route to export sheep to the Gulf, favoring it over the route through Jordan to reduce costs and shorten the distance. Iraqi authorities confirmed that health procedures are being strictly enforced, while Syria denied the existence of epidemic cases, and livestock exports through Syrian and Jordanian ports continued as usual.
