Heavy rains have triggered floods across Istanbul, leaving the streets submerged and disrupting daily life. According to Al Jazeera, a teenager has tragically lost their life in the chaos.
Residents are witnessing roads collapsing under the relentless torrents, with many finding themselves trapped in gridlocked traffic as water levels rise. Hospitals, crucial in times of crisis, are not spared; reports come in of water breaching hospital wards, complicating care.
Schools throughout the city have closed their doors, leaving parents and students to cope with learning interruptions. With traffic at a standstill, movement within the city is severely restricted, compounding the distress of Istanbul's inhabitants.
