It was reported 14 Aug. 2016 that the Popular Mobilisation Forces have been looting property including irrigation equipment from farms in Jurf Al-Sahkar, Babil Governorate, Iraq, and registering properties under different names.

The governorate is known for its fertile agricultural fields and orchards, these being irrigated from the water of the Hillah river.

According to a United Nations report illiteracy in the governorate of those over 10 years of age was 19.6% in 2010. Prior to the occupation in 2003 it was 0% nationwide.

An Iraqi ambassador wrote me in 1999 enquiring about an increase from 1989 to 1997 of an under-five child mortality rate from 30.2/1,000 live births to 97.2/1,000, attributed to the depleted uranium used in the Gulf War, it is observed that in 2010 the average for the Iraq governorates was 41.0/1,000 live births; the individual rates per governorate are listed in the table to the right.
