Emergency personnel fought floods in Turkey's Black Sea region, the country's second natural disaster this month. Torrential rains pummelled the country's northern Black Sea provinces, triggering flooding that destroyed homes, tore bridges apart, washed automobiles away, and made several highways inaccessible.
The floods and flames occurred in the same week that a UN panel warned that global warming is perilously close to spiralling out of control, killing and destroying tens of thousands of hectares of forest.
Bridges collapsed under the pressure of the pouring torrents, and roadways buckled from mudslides, according to images shared
on social media.
