Supporters of cleric Moqtada Sadr wave flags inside Iraq's parliament in the capital Baghdad's high-security Green Zone, as they protest against a rival bloc's nomination for prime minister, on July 30, 2022. The protests are the latest challenge for oil-rich Iraq, which remains mired in a political and a socioeconomic crisis despite elevated global energy prices. Sadr's bloc emerged from elections in October as the biggest parliamentary faction, but was still far short of a majority and, nine months on, deadlock persists over the establishment of a new government.

A demonstrator approaches a boat stuck in the dried-up bank of a canal, during a rally at the Umm El Wadaa marsh, south-east of the Iraqi city of Nasiriyah in the southern Dhi Qar province, on August 16, 2022, to demand solutions for water scarcity and drought. Years of drought and low rainfall, as well as reduced river flows from neighbouring Turkey and Iran, have battered Iraq's marshland areas, turning them into cracked ground, smattered with yellowing shrubs. Locals, whose livelihood depends on the resources of the southern marshlands, struggle to make ends meet, with many forced to leave in search of different jobs. (Photo by Asaad Niazi/AFP Photo)
