Iraq halts crossings along Chazabeh border to prevent floods

'Iraq's Border Crossing' apparatus claimed that exchange of goods, passengers and pilgrims have been temporarily halted at Chazabeh-Sheib border crossing region until further notice.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the statement read that this will be done based on a request by the Iranian side calling for adopting precautionary measures to prevent the occurrence of the flood in that region.

Torrential storms and flooding hit various provinces along Iran-Iraq joint borders urging the two sides' officials to take precautionary measures to alleviate the destructive consequences.
