The long-delayed census aimed to include Iraqis living abroad and those who had been forced to flee within the country during seven years of war and violence. The Al-Sabah newspaper quoted the spokesperson for the Iraqi Ministry of Planning, Abdul Zahra al-Hindawi, as saying the census was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and the curfew.
