Sandstorms in Middle East
Many parts of the Middle East have suffered from an unprecedented series of blinding sandstorms this spring, sending thousands of people to hospitals with respiratory problems.
Businesses and schools were forced to close due to the severity of the storms.
Spanish sandstorm expert Carlos Pérez Garcia-Pando says unusual heat and drought this year in East Africa, the Middle East and Asia could have amplified some sandstorms. Other experts point to climate change and mismanagement of water resources as important factors in the more frequent sandstorms.
