The Kirkuk Health Department in northern Iraq reported dozens of suffocation cases due to the dust storm that hit the governorate over the past few hours.

Director of Media at the Kirkuk Health Department Saman Yabeh said that Kirkuk hospitals received 109 suffocation cases of varying severity due to the dust storm. Medical teams dealt with the cases immediately.

He added that all health facilities were on full alert in anticipation of any emergency, stressing that most cases have recovered after receiving the necessary treatment.

Since Tuesday morning, Kirkuk has been experiencing a heavy dust storm, which has reduced visibility and caused widespread suffering among citizens, especially those suffering from chronic respiratory diseases.
