Shafaq cites officials on dust-related breathing cases in Najaf and Diyala

Shafaq News, citing provincial health authorities, reports 129 dust-related respiratory cases in Najaf and ten in Diyala on Tuesday. Najaf health spokesperson Maher Al-Aboudi said cases there were under control at the time of his account. These are reported health-service figures, not an independently audited patient count. The same storm had earlier reduced visibility in Baghdad.

The counts are provincial health authorities’ claims relayed by Shafaq; Najaf spokesperson Maher Al-Aboudi is named. No original patient records or independent count was inspected. His statement that cases were under control applies to Najaf at that point, not all provinces or later conditions. The earlier Baghdad report is the same outlet’s observation, not independent corroboration of these totals. The time is the new report’s UTC publication minute, not patients’ arrival times.
