11 minutes ago! 65,000 people were left homeless in Turkey! The whole world is praying for Ankara!
A fierce hailstorm has struck several regions of Turkey, causing widespread damage and disruption. The storm hit the city of Ankara and surrounding areas, pelting the ground with hailstones the size of golf balls. The hailstorm left cars dented and homes damaged, with many residents taking to social media to share photos of the destruction.
According to local reports, the storm also caused power outages and disrupted transportation, with some flights and trains cancelled. The Turkish State Meteorological Service issued a warning ahead of the storm, advising people to take precautions and stay indoors.
The hailstorm is just the latest in a series of extreme weather events to hit Turkey in recent months. Last year, the country experienced devastating floods, while earlier this year, wildfires swept across several regions. Climate experts have warned that such events are likely to become more frequent as the planet continues to warm.
The Turkish government has pledged to provide assistance to those affected by the hailstorm, with emergency teams already dispatched to assess the damage and provide support. The country has also been grappling with a surge in Covid-19 cases in recent weeks, and the hailstorm is likely to further strain resources and infrastructure.
Despite the challenges, many Turks are rallying together to support each other in the wake of the storm, with neighbors helping to clear debris and provide shelter to those in need.
