==Geography== Fallujah's western boundary is the Euphrates River. The Euphrates flows from the west (Ramadi), past Fallujah, and into the Baghdad area. When the river reaches the western edge of Fallujah, it turns north, then quickly south, forming what is commonly referred to as the 'peninsula' area. There are two bridges that cross the Euphrates at Fallujah. The city's eastern boundary is [[Highway 1 (Iraq)|Highway 1]], a four-lane, divided superhighway that travels from Baghdad past Fallujah towards the west. After the sanctions imposed by the UN after the 1991 Gulf War, this highway became the main supply route for the country. Truckers and travelers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan and southern Syria all merge onto this highway prior to entering the Eastern Al Anbar province. The highway has a prominent 'cloverleaf' interchange with [[Highway 10 (Iraq)|Highway 10]] on the eastern edge of Fallujah. [[Highway 10 (Iraq)|Highway 10]], which also runs through Fallujah. It is a two-lane highway that turns into a four-lane highway once inside of Fallujah. The highway runs east-west from Baghdad through Fallujah then west towards Ramadi. A 'cloverleaf' on-ramp allows for traffic on/off Highway 1. The highway basically splits the city into two halves, north and south. The northern boundary is a railroad line that runs east-west just along the northern edge of the city. The line sits atop a 10β15 ft high berm all along the northern edge of the city, except where it crosses Highway 1. There are three major hospital locations in Fallujah. The main hospital (formerly Saddam General) is located downtown, near the west end. The second is located across the Euphrates River in an area of west Fallujah commonly referred to as the 'peninsula', (due to its shape). The third hospital is the Jordanian Field Hospital located east of the Highway 10/Highway 1 interchange.{{Weather box | location = Fallujah | metric first = Y | single line = Y | Jan high C = 24.45 | Feb high C = 30.32 | Mar high C = 38.14 | Apr high C = 40.1 | May high C = 44.01 | Jun high C = 45.97 | Jul high C = 47.92 | Aug high C = 46.94 | Sep high C = 44.01 | Oct high C = 41.08 | Nov high C = 32.27 | Dec high C = 24.45 | Jan low C = 11.99 | Feb low C = 14.27 | Mar low C = 19.45 | Apr low C = 28.83 | May low C = 31.0 | Jun low C = 35.42 | Jul low C = 38.07 | Aug low C = 41.89 | Sep low C = 34.12 | Oct low C = 27.51 | Nov low C = 18.82 | Dec low C = 29.46 | Jan precipitation mm = 10.92 | Feb precipitation mm = 16.48 | Mar precipitation mm = 17.56 | Apr precipitation mm = 13.77 | May precipitation mm = 8.48 | Jun precipitation mm = 0.21 | Jul precipitation mm = 0.08 | Aug precipitation mm = 0.08 | Sep precipitation mm = 0.17 | Oct precipitation mm = 9.98 | Nov precipitation mm = 16.28 | Dec precipitation mm = 10.62 | year precipitation mm = 8.72 | Jan humidity = 44.67 | Feb humidity = 37.31 | Mar humidity = 29.21 | Apr humidity = 22.97 | May humidity = 18.29 | Jun humidity = 13.13 | Jul humidity = 11.91 | Aug humidity = 12.61 | Sep humidity = 15.1 | Oct humidity = 23.07 | Nov humidity = 36.54 | Dec humidity = 25.58 | source = climate-data.org<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://weatherandclimate.com/iraq/anbar/al-fallujah |title=Fallujah Climate |access-date=2024-12-31 |website=Climate data}}</ref> | date = 16 January 2018 }}
