BAGHDAD, Nov 25, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – At least 21 people have died and dozens
more have been injured as heavy rains battered Iraq over the past two days,
the health ministry spokesman told AFP on Sunday.
Women and children were among the dead, Seif al-Badr said. Some had
drowned, but others had died in car accidents, were electrocuted, or were
trapped when their houses fell on them.
