Iraq's Marsh Arabs facing threats of climate change

Three years ago another Iraqi site was made a World Heritage Site.
But the people living in the marshes of southern Iraq, the Marsh Arabs, say the new status has not improved their livelihoods.
Government negligence and climate change add to their daily struggle.

Al Jazeera's Charles Stratford reports from southern Iraq.

Southern Iraq is not Arab. Do not call us (Marsh Arabs)... We are Sumerians and we were Arabized because of the Arab-Islamic invasion, as well as the Levant, Egypt and North Africa, all of whom are not Arabs.
