Article · Italiano
Halabja (in curdo: Helebce; in arabo: 'حلبجة) è una città irachena del Governatorato di Halabja, nel Kurdistan iracheno. Si trova a circa 240 km a nordest di Baghdad ed a circa 15 km dal confine iraniano. La città è nota per l'attacco chimico subito nel 1988 durante la guerra Iran-Iraq dove persero la vita tra 3200 o 5000 e ne ferì tra 7000 o 10000 cittadini in quello che è stato giudicato un crimine contro l'umanità.
