Hammad stated that the Baaj area depends on agriculture and animal husbandry, Yazidi population has been raising cattle here for centuries, at the moment the state does not care about these two important sectors in the area. The number of cattle in the Baaj district has sharply decreased, the district had about one million 800 thousand sheep, but this number has decreased to about one million 300 thousand heads.

The district commissioner, criticizing the shortage of livestock feed, said: "The district contains about one million 400 thousand dunams (land metric unit) under the Agrarian Reform Law, and these lands depend on rain, but the last two years have been dry, and we have not received any support from the state, we categorically lacked seeds and feed for cattle.

The population of the Al-Ba'aj area is approximately 95,000 people, of which about 80% are Yazidis".
