Hamid Qasim

activist

Hamid Qasim is a resident of the villages in the Maysan province of Iraq, who has recently been in the news for voicing the struggles faced by his community due to severe water shortages. He highlighted the dire conditions resulting from the complete drying up of the Al-Muharrah River, which has left local villagers without a reliable source of water for drinking and agriculture, prompting them to dig wells that unfortunately yield brackish water unsuitable for human consumption.
