is needed to reduce the dust phenomena that cause various diseases and
symptoms for Ahwazi Arab people.

were carrying placards that were written, “ clean air is our right”,
“gas has taken, oil has taken but you forgot to take dust”,
The
procedures and policies that taken place by the Iranian occupation
authorities during the past years, was the reason for an increase in
pollution limit in Ahwaz.
The
Iranian authority’s biased and shameful action of diverting water from
the Ahwaz’s Karoon River to the Isfahan province has been carried out
while the world health organization has repeatedly for the fourth times
placed the Ahwaz region on the top of the most polluted region in the
world.

year, thousands of Ahwazi lose their lives as a result of water
diversion, in return the regime by stealing the water from its main
course and pumping it to central Persian regions has exacerbated the
crisis deliberately in line with fulfilling its inhuman ethnic cleansing
policies.

Al-Ahwaz various companies reside such as oil and gas, iron and steel,
sugar cane companies and in addition to the drying Alhoweizeh wetland
under the pretext of drilling for oil increased the pollution limit,
which is threatening the future of the Ahwaz Arab people.
