Iraq’s Education Ministry said on Monday that classes at schools in Iraq were suspended for one day due to a heavy sandstorm.

The heavy sandstorm, which started in the morning in many cities, including the capital Baghdad, negatively affected life, the ministry said in a statement.

Dozens of people at risk of suffocation were hospitalized.

On May 5, after a powerful sandstorm swept through the country, one person died and more than 5,000 needed treatment for breathing problems.
