Mosquitoes are a common issue in Jordan, particularly in areas like Ghor Al Mazra'a. The warm climate and stagnant water sources provide the perfect breeding grounds for these pesky insects. Mosquito-borne diseases are a concern in the region, with illnesses such as West Nile virus and malaria being potential threats to public health.

The Zikra Initiative in Ghor Al Mazra'a aims to tackle the mosquito issue through education and community engagement. By raising awareness about the importance of mosquito control and implementing preventive measures, the initiative hopes to reduce the prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases in the area. Efforts such as proper waste management and regular mosquito breeding site inspections are key components of their strategy.

In addition to the Zikra Initiative's work, local authorities in Jordan also take measures to control the mosquito population and prevent the spread of diseases. Mosquito control programs, insecticide spraying, and public health campaigns are all part of the comprehensive approach to addressing the mosquito situation in the country. Collaboration between government agencies, community organizations, and residents is essential in the fight against mosquito-borne illnesses.
