20-03-2020 - ERBIL, Kurdistan Region -- President Nechirvan Barzani and Prime Minister Masour Barzani will send $2.5 million in aid to Duhok following severe floods throughout the province. Heavy rains in Duhok province led to powerful floods on Tuesday and Wednesday, destroying approximately 400 houses, 100 stores and 61 vehicles.
President Barzani spoke on the phone with Duhok governor Farhat Atrushi on Thursday, discussing the damage caused in the area.
President Barzani “expressed his condolences to the families of the two victims who died in Semel and Zakho,” according to a readout from his office, referring to the deaths of a man who drowned in Zakho and another man who was hit by lightning in Semel.
