Basra
Shia Abbas, 60, from Nassiriya,
waits by the bed of her nephew, Ali Saad
Hashem, 11,
who is being treated for leukaemia
at Basra children’s hospital.
The paediatric oncology ward has 45 beds,
and sick children can spend months here.
Flares of despair: the human costs of Iraq’s

Pollution and extraction of water
are having a huge impact on local
communities.
High rates of cancer and respiratory
problems are the norm,
while marshes dry out and fish die in the
rivers

The Sumerians
UK
The Sumerians
were the inhabitants of Sumer,
which is the
earliest known civilisation
in the historical
region of Mesopotamia,
located in
modern-day southern Iraq.
According to
archaeological evidence,
they built about
a dozen city-states
in the fourth
millennium BC.
(...)
The Sumerians
were ancient pioneers,
having advanced
the craft of writing,
writing
literature, hymns and prayers.
They built the
first known cities
as well as
creating the first known code of law.
They also
perfected
several existing forms of technology,
including the
wheel, the plough
and mathematics.
The epic of
Gilgamesh,
considered the
world’s
oldest surviving piece of literature,
derives from five
Sumerian poems.
They were also
notably
one of the first
civilisations to brew beer,
which was seen by
the ancient people
as a key to a
healthy heart and liver.

If It Were My Home
The headlines tell a lot
about the crisis in Yemen:
internal strife,
evacuations
of international aid workers,
Saudi Arabian airstrikes.
But you may have
one very basic question
that you can't easily find
an answer for:
How big is Yemen,
anyway?
You can look at maps
and check out Wikipedia
but wouldn't it be great
to just to slap an outline of Yemen
on top of a map of the United States
to get a sense of its size?
IfItWereMyHome.com
lets you do just that.
