Human rights reports have warned of severe social and psychological repercussions resulting from Iraq's chronic power shortage crisis, noting that persistent outages, combined with extreme summer temperatures, significantly contribute to rising rates of domestic violence. The reports clarified that accumulated
psychological pressure on citizens, particularly low-income families, now poses a threat to social stability. Authorities were urged to find radical and urgent solutions to the electricity sector, which has consumed vast financial resources without yielding tangible results that meet citizens'
expectations.
