The Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture confirmed that the number of hemorrhagic fever infections in the country during the current year [2023] increased to 192, including 29 deaths.
The ministry attributed the increase in cases to indiscriminate slaughtering, which caused 40% of the cases, and indicated that the country needs 300 slaughterhouses to reduce the random slaughtering.
The veterinary department in the ministry called for the slaughtering during Eid al-Adha [28 Jun 2023] to be in official slaughterhouses and under the supervision of veterinarians and in coordination with the mayors of regions and municipal departments and to prevent slaughtering inside homes.
