Listen "Will Iraq's power problem ever end?"
Episode Synopsis
Iraq’s summer is crippling the country. People are having to seek refuge indoors to escape scorching temperatures that regularly reach 50°C. But indoors isn’t much better with regular power blackouts adding to people’s frustrations. So, aside from shade within the four walls of their houses, there is little else that Iraqis can do to cool themselves down. Electricity in the country is scant, and what little there is, is rationed into limited time slots each day.
On this week's Beyond the Headlines, host Suhail Akram asks whether Iraq’s power problem has any end in sight.
