The Leader of the Iraqi National Wisdom Movement stressed the need to take immediate action to fight poverty in Iraq.
Ammar Al-Hakim said in a statement on the occasion of World Poverty Day: “Rising global statistics, which point to a dramatic rise in the poverty rate, especially after the spread of the Corona virus, place the international community and human rights organizations on a major responsibility to tackle the scourge and save millions from poverty.”
He continued: “It cannot be accepted that in Iraq, which is a country full of blessings, a large percentage of people are below the poverty line. This requires immediate practical steps to improve living standards, job opportunities, health facilities and social support measures.”
