Duhok is experiencing a substantial escalation in drug trafficking and usage. The number of reported cases has surged significantly, with law enforcement agencies seizing numerous kilograms of narcotics on a monthly basis.

Peregraf’s follow-ups revealed that over 1,000 drug-related incidents were documented in Duhok last year, a stark contrast to the slightly over 50 cases recorded annually a decade ago, marking a 19-fold increase, or 1,900%.
