Hemorrhagic fever alert issued in Iraq in 2026

Iraqi health authorities issue renewed warnings over viral hemorrhagic fever, highlighting rising cases and urging strict preventive measures among farmers and livestock workers.

Iraqi health officials have issued a fresh public alert over viral hemorrhagic fever following an uptick in suspected cases across several provinces. The ministry is advising farmers and livestock handlers to intensify protective practices, including wearing gloves and masks during animal handling and slaughter, and to avoid informal meat markets. Rural areas with high animal interaction are identified as priority zones for screening and awareness campaigns. Health teams are coordinating with veterinary services to monitor animal populations and curb possible zoonotic transmission. The warning underscores the persistent risk of tick-borne and contact‑transmitted infections in Iraq, especially during warmer months when outdoor livestock activity increases.
