During the october protests that happened in Iraq these platforms helped in many ways by knowing what’s happening in the protests, what protestors might need and getting our voices to the outer world.

Muslims come to pray here five times a day and it gets really busy especially in Ramadan but unfortunataly it was closed this Ramadan following the health procedures because of the covid-19 pandemic, But these days a lot people come to pray following social distancing and wearing face masks to avoid infection.

Water pollution is also a very common type of pollution that my community faces everyday, it can be polluted by the high rates of salinity, oil and toxic substances leaks from ships, hospitals and power stations and this problem is causing many poisoning cases for the people.
