PALESTINE: THE SIX DAY WAR

BAGHDAD, IRAQ - JUNE 13: Iraq temporarily suspended flights from Baghdad airport on Monday due to a new dust storm. A statement by Baghdad airport said weather conditions in the Iraqi capital forced airport authorities to halt air traffic. Monday’s dust storm is the tenth in Iraq since mid-April, which has been battered by soil degradation, intense droughts and low rainfall linked to climate change. Last month, an Iraqi citizen died in a sandstorm, while thousands suffered respiratory problems. (Footage by Ali Mohammed Saeed /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
