Susangerd (Persian: سوسنگرد)[a] is a city in the Central District of Dasht-e Azadegan County, Khuzestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] The vast majority of its inhabitants are Khuzestani Arab people. Susangerd is considered among the famous cities of Iran due to the Iran-Iraq war and the city's liberation from the siege of Iraqi forces.[5]
At the 2006 National Census, its population was 43,591 in 7,636 households.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 44,469 people in 9,900 households.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 51,431 people in 12,664 households.[2]
On July 21, 2021, protests triggered by the severe shortage of water in the region occurred in Susangerd alongside multiple other cities, among them Masjed Soleyman, Izeh, Shushtar and Ahvaz.[8]
