( dpa ) - Some 40,000 short people in Iraq's Kurdish Autonomous Region will get a monthly salary equivalent to 40 dollars, their association said Wednesday.

The government of the Kurdish region has approved the assistance to short people residing in the region's five provinces as well as Baghdad and Mosul, the president of the short people's association, Omar Jabar, told members.

The assistance may be intended to help a community disadvantaged by their physique. The minimum monthly wage in Iraq is 200 dollars.
