Baghdad is broken

Baghdad is broken.

Broken is the national power grid, which provides no more than four hours of electricity to the city's homes. Broken are the sewage pipes, which leak untreated waste into streets and squares.

Broken is the water supply network, which leaves entire neighborhoods without running water for days on end. Garbage is everywhere, because the citywide system of trash pickup is broken, too.
