Historic Pa-Paz Bridge In Iraq Collapsed Amid Floods

A view of the structural collapse of the Pa-Paz Bridge in the Sulaymaniyah governorate, Iraq, on March 28. Built in 1950, the bridge has served as the primary transit route connecting the districts of Darbandikhan and Kalar for decades. Local authorities have closed the bridge to all traffic following partial structural failure caused by record-breaking rainfall and rising water levels in the region this year. The incident highlights the impact of severe weather on the Kurdistan Region's aging infrastructure. (Photo by Sabur Rashid/NurPhoto)
