Turkey now! The storm of the century came unexpectedly! The wind speed is 170 km/h!

The Bosphorus Strait, a vital waterway connecting the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, faces disruptions as maritime activities are temporarily halted. Ferry services across the strait have been suspended, impacting daily commuters and adding to the challenges faced by the city’s transportation system. The storm’s effects are felt not only in the urban areas but also in the outlying regions of Istanbul. Vulnerable communities along the coast are particularly at risk, prompting authorities to initiate evacuation procedures in high-risk areas. The Turkish Red Crescent and local NGOs are working in tandem to provide support and assistance to those affected, setting up temporary shelters and distributing emergency supplies.
